If fff is a continuous function with ∫0xf(t) dt→∞ \displaystyle \int_0^x f(t) \, dt \to \infty∫0xf(t)dt→∞ as ∣x∣→∞ |x| \to \infty ∣x∣→∞, then show that every line y=mx y = mxy=mx intersects the curve y2+∫0xf(t) dt=2\displaystyle y^2 + \int_0^x f(t) \, dt = 2 y2+∫0xf(t)dt=2.

Probably wrong. But here's my attempt.
Let F(x)=∫0xf(t)dt F(x) = \displaystyle \int_0^x f(t) dt F(x)=∫0xf(t)dt
Then, when x=0 x = 0 x=0, F(x)=0 F(x) = 0 F(x)=0, and when ∣x∣→∞ |x| \rightarrow \infty ∣x∣→∞, F(x)→∞ F(x) \rightarrow \infty F(x)→∞.
Now, let G(x)=m2x2+F(X) G(x) = m^2x^2 + F(X) G(x)=m2x2+F(X). Now, when, when x=0 x = 0 x=0, G(x)=0 G(x) = 0 G(x)=0, and when ∣x∣→∞, |x| \rightarrow \infty, ∣x∣→∞,, G(x)→∞ G(x) \rightarrow \infty G(x)→∞.
By the IVT, G(xo)=2 G(x_o) = 2 G(xo)=2 for some xo x_o xo
