By considering in Theorem 4, we obtain Theorem 3.
Remark 7. If we consider , and in Theorem 4, then we are led to the result of Dahmani [28]. 4. Concluding Remarks
By utilizing the proposed weighted-type generalized fractional integral operator, we established a class of new integral inequalities for differentiable functions related to Chebyshev’s, weighted Chebyshev’s, and extended Chebyshev’s functionals. The obtained inequalities are in more general form than the existing inequalities, which have been published earlier in the literature. Our result’s exceptional cases can be found in [

11,
12,
27,
28,
29,
30]. Furthermore, for other types of operators addressed in Remarks 1 and 2, certain new integral inequalities connected to Chebyshev’s functional and its extensions given in the literature can be easily obtained. One may investigate certain other types of integral inequalities by employing the proposed operators in the near future.
