 +Let $f:\mathbb R\longrightarrow \mathbb R$ be an even continuous function such that $f(x+2)=f(x)$ for all $x$
 +and $f$ is increasing on $[0,1]$. Define a new function $g:\mathbb R\longrightarrow \mathbb R$ by
 +\[ g(x)=\int_{0}^{2}f(t)f(t+x)\text{d}t.\]
 +Prove that $g(1)$ is the smallest value of $g$.
