Problem Statement

Let f,gf,g are defined in (a,b)(a,b) such that f(x),g(x)C2f(x),g(x)\in\mathcal{C}^2 and non-decreasing in an interval (a,b)(a,b) . Also suppose f(x)=g(x),g(x)=f(x)f^{\prime \prime}(x)=g(x),g^{\prime \prime}(x)=f(x). Also it is given that f(x)g(x)f(x)g(x) is linear in (a,b)(a,b). Show that f0 and g0f\equiv 0 \text{ and } g\equiv 0 in (a,b)(a,b).
