Let’s use LMVT for x∈[a,c]
c−af(c)−f(a)=f′(α),α∈(a,c)
Also use LMVT for x∈[c,b]
b−cf(b)−f(c)=f′(β),β∈(c,b)
∵f′′(x)<0⇒f′(x) is decreasing
f′(α)>f′(β)
c−af(c)−f(a)>b−cf(b)−f(c)
f(b)−f(c)f(c)−f(a)>b−cc−a ( ∵f(x) is increasing)

Let $f$ be a differentiable function satisfying $f(x)=1-2 x+\int_{0}^{x} \mathrm{e}^{(x-t)} f(t) \mathrm{dt}, x \in \mathbf{R}$ and let $\mathrm{g}(x)=\int_{0}^{x}(f(\mathrm{t})+2)^{15}(\mathrm{t}-4)^{6}(\mathrm{t}+12)^{17} \mathrm{dt}, x \in \mathbf{R}$. If p and q are respectively the points of local minima and local maxima of g, then the value of $|\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}|$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$.
