For real numbers $a,b,p$, verify that $$left[int_a^b(x-p),dxright]^2le(b-a)int_a^b(x-p)^2,dxtag1$$ without using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.




Note that this is obviously an immediate consequence of C-S, and I assumed that it had to be shown by integrating directly.



Working backwards, we get $$left[fracb^2-a^22-p(b-a)right]^2le(b-a)frac(b-p)^3-(a-p)^33$$ and since $m^3-n^3=(m-n)(m^2+mn+n^2)$, the RHS can be rewritten as $$frac(b-a)^24(b+a-2p)^2lefrac(b-a)^23(b^2+ab+b^2+3p^2-3p(b+a))$$ or $$3(b+a-2p)^2le4((b+a)^2+3p^2-3p(b+a))-4ab$$ which gives $$12p^2-12p(b+a)le(b-a)^2+12p^2-12p(b+a)$$ or that $$(b-a)^2ge0$$ which is true.



Any alternative methods?

          Or note that, if $M:=frac1b-a,int_a^b,(x-p)^2,textdx$, then
          $$int_a^b,(x-p)^2,textdx-(b-a),M^2=int_a^b,big((x-p)-Mbig)^2,textdxgeq0,.$$

            Try Jensen's Inequality with $varphi(x)=x^2.$ As mentioned in the comments, you need to normalize for the interval over which you are integrating. That is, you can prove
            $$left(frac1b-aint_a^b(x-p),dxright)^!2le frac1b-aint_a^b(x-p)^2,dx.$$

            Do the substitution $t=x-p$, so the inequality becomes
            $$
            left(int_a-p^b-p t,dtright)^!2le (b-a)int_a-p^b-p t^2,dt
            $$
            Setting $a-p=A$ and $b-p=B$, this is the same as proving that
            $$
            left(int_A^B t,dtright)^!2le (B-A)int_A^B t^2,dt
            $$
            that is,
            $$
            frac(B^2-A^2)^24le (B-A)fracB^3-A^33
            $$
            that becomes
            $$
            3(B+A)^2le 4(B^2+AB+A^2)
            $$
            This becomes
            $$
            A^2-2AB+B^2ge0
            $$
            which is true.

                          Do the substitution $t=x-p$, so the inequality becomes
                          $$
                          left(int_a-p^b-p t,dtright)^!2le (b-a)int_a-p^b-p t^2,dt
                          $$
                          Setting $a-p=A$ and $b-p=B$, this is the same as proving that
                          $$
                          left(int_A^B t,dtright)^!2le (B-A)int_A^B t^2,dt
                          $$
                          that is,
                          $$
                          frac(B^2-A^2)^24le (B-A)fracB^3-A^33
                          $$
                          that becomes
                          $$
                          3(B+A)^2le 4(B^2+AB+A^2)
                          $$
                          This becomes
                          $$
                          A^2-2AB+B^2ge0
                          $$
