Let $a < b$ be two real numbers and $f : [ a , b ] \rightarrow \mathbb { R }$ be an infinitely differentiable function. Let us call (H) the following hypothesis: there exists a unique point $x _ { 0 } \in [ a , b ]$ where $f$ attains its maximum, we have $a < x _ { 0 } < b$, and $f ^ { \prime \prime } \left( x _ { 0 } \right) \neq 0$.
Show that under hypothesis $( H )$, we have $f ^ { \prime \prime } \left( x _ { 0 } \right) < 0$.
