Prove that the average has the following properties:
- Additive property:
.
- Homogeneous property:
for a constant
.
- Monotone property:
if
for all
.
- Proof. We compute using the formula for the average of a function on an interval,
- Proof. Again, we compute,
- Proof. Assume
for all
. Then, by the monotone property of the integral we have,
