If $|langle f, g rangle| = | f |_2 |g|_2$ then $exists alpha, beta in mathbb{R} $ s.t. $alpha f = beta g $

Show the following are equivalent, for $f, g in L^2[a,b]$



a. $|langle f, g rangle| = |f|_2 |g|_2$



b. $exists alpha, beta in mathbb{R} $ s.t. $alpha f = beta g $




where $langle cdot , cdot rangle$ : inner product.





Try



(b $Rightarrow$ a) If $alpha=0$, things are trivial. Otherwise, note $f = frac{beta}{alpha} g$



$|langle f, g rangle| = |frac{beta}{alpha}| langle g, g rangle = |frac{beta}{alpha}| |g|_2 cdot|g|_2 = |f|_2 |g|_2 $



But I'm stuck at (a $Rightarrow$ b).

          One can consider the function $f:mathbb{R}rightarrow mathbb{R},xmapsto ||f-xg||^2$. Since we have $||f-xg||^2=langle f-xg,f-xgrangle=||f||^2-2xlangle f,grangle + x^2||g||^2$, this gives rise to a quadratic function, which has a real root, because the discriminant is $left(2langle f,grangleright)^2-4||u||^2||v||^2=4langle f,grangle^2-4langle f,grangle^2=0$.
          Hence there is some $xin mathbb{R}$, s.t. $f-xg=0$, or equivalently $f=xg$.
