Problem Statement

Let ff and gg be two continuous, distinct functions from [0,1](0,+)[0,1] \rightarrow (0,+\infty) such that 01f(x)dx=01g(x)dx\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx = \int_{0}^{1}g(x)dx Let yn=01fn+1(x)gn(x)dxy_n=\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{f^{n+1}(x)}{g^{n}(x)}dx}, for n0n\geq 0, natural. Prove that (yn)(y_n) is an increasing and divergent sequence.
