Suppose I have a real positive valued continuous function $f(x)$ such that for $\Delta>0$ $$\int_0^{\Delta}f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x=1.$$ If I am not provided with any exact functional form of $f(x)$, can I still say something about $$I=\int_0^{\Delta}\left[f(x)\right]^2\,\mathrm{d}x$$ i.e., is there any simplification to $I$ given the first equation? I tried integration by parts, but that does not seem to give anything really useful.
