Factor the left hand side. One of the two factors is bounded by 2. To understand the other factor, apply MVT to the function sin(x) and see what it gives in the general case.
Any <@&286206848099549185> know how to do this?
I just told you how to do it and you're gonna ignore me. smh
If you want more help, you have to say what you know, what you've tried, and what your having trouble with
Sorry I'm just very confused. Why exactly would I be "factoring the left hand side"?

Please don’t spam ping helpers
Sorry
Could anyone check to see if this proof is correct?
@gaunt ore is the proof valid?
I don't understand the => after the "such that". The sentence should end after (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a). Why is sin(2x) equal to what you say it is?
The left hand side of the inequality that you want to prove is the expression that is on the left of the inequality. Namely, |sin^2(b)-sin^2(a)|. That is a difference of squares.
It might actually be an okay proof. Though that one line has syntactic issues.
It's surprising to me that they would give you a bound of 2|b-a| if |b-a| is also a bound, but I haven't found the counterexample yet.
Well, I proved that it is less than or equal to
|b-a| so that automatically means it is less than or equal to
2 |b-a|.
