Let f, g: [-1, 2] → R be continuous functions which are twice differentiable on the interval (-1, 2). Let the values of f and g at the points -1, 0 and 2 be as given in the following table: | | x = -1 | x = 0 | x = 2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | f(x) | 3 | 6 | 0 | | g(x) | 0 | 1 | -1 | In each of the intervals (-1, 0) and (0, 2) the function (f - 3g)'' never vanishes.
