Function with compact support whose iterated antiderivatives also have compact support
Notation: If f : R R is continuous, let us denote I f : R R its indefinite integral from 0, i.e., ( I f ) ( x ) = 0 x f ( t ) d t, and iteratively I k + 1 f = I ( I k f ).
Remark: If f is a continuous function with support contained in the open interval ]0,1[ then If has support contained in ]0,1[ iff ( I f ) ( 1 ) = 0.
Main question: Does there exist a C function f with support contained in the open interval ]0,1[ such that I k f has support contained in ]0,1[ for every k 0, or, equivalently, ( I k f ) ( 1 ) = 0 for all k 0?
Equivalent formulation: Does there exists a sequence ( f k ) k Z of C functions each with support contained in the open interval ]0,1[, such that f k 1 is the derivative of f k ?
Weaker question: Does there at least exist a continuous function f with the properties demanded in the main question?
Stronger question: Does there exist a C function f with compact support, whose Fourier transform vanishes identically on a nontrivial interval?
(A positive answer to the latter would imply a positive answer to the main question: rescale the function so its support is contained in ]0,1[, multiply it appropriately so its Fourier transform vanishes in a neighborhood of 0, and observe that the Fourier transform of I k f is, up to constants, ξ k times that of f.)
Edit: Before someone points out that the identically zero function fits the bill, I should add that I want my functions to not vanish identically.

Integrate : 1 x 2 2 x x 2 d x

The majority of Calculus 1 questions and answers that you will find below should be sufficient for understanding the basic rules that are necessary for problem-solving purposes. Take a look at the original answers, seek math assignment help, and compare them to what you have for your assignment.

If you need any other kind of help for your Calculus 1 tasks, combine several solutions or look at the problem that seems similar to your original assignment. If Math is not your subject per se, start with the most basic problems and proceed with the complex ones.
