34 Let
1x+2x+⋯+(n−1)x+nx⋅a=k,
then
12+(nk)2⩾n2k,22x+(nk)2⩾2⋅n2xk,⋯,n2xa2+(nk)2⩾n2nx⋅ak.
Adding these inequalities, we get:
⩾=1+22x+⋯+(n−1)2x+n2xa2+n⋅(nk)22k[1+2x+⋯+(n−1)x+nxa]/nn2k2,
which simplifies to
1+22x+⋯+(n−1)2x+n2xa2⩾nk2.
Substituting the value of k gives
1+22x+⋯+(n−1)2x+n2x⋅a2⩾n[1+2x+⋯+(n−1)x+nxa]2.
Since 0<a⩽1, we have a⩾a2. Therefore,
1+22x+⋯+(n−1)2x+n2x⋅a⩾n[1+2x+⋯+(n−1)x+nxa]2
which means f(2x)⩾2f(x).
