Could someone help me through this problem?

Prove the uniqueness of the integral. That is, show that $F'\equiv 0$ implies that F is a constant

Try to show the following properties of integrals:

1)$\displaystyle\int_{C} [f(z)+g(z)]\, dz=$$\displaystyle\int_{C}f(z)\, dz +\displaystyle\int_{C} g(z)\, dz$

2)$\displaystyle\int_{C} af(z)\, dz=a\displaystyle\int_{C} f(z)\, dz$

    I cannot believe you have no idea about how to be started on any of these three questions. By the way, questions 1 and 2 are unrelated to the unnumbered question.2012-05-07

For any $a < b$, we can use the mean value theorem to conclude that there is a $x \in (a, b)$ so that $ 0 = f'(x) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} $ which implies $f(a) = f(b)$. Since this holds for any $a$ and $b$, we must have $f(x) = c$ for all $x$ for some constant $c$.
