Show that $\max_{P_X : X\in (0,1) } \left| \frac{\mathbb{E} [ f'(X) ]}{ \mathbb{E} [ f(X) ] } \right|$ is maximized by at most two mass points

Let $f$ be some given well-behaved function. Consider the following optimization problem overall probability distribution on $[0,1]$ \begin{align} \max_{P_X : X\in [0,1] } \left| \frac{\mathbb{E} [ ...
