Work Step by Step

Given $f'(t)\gt0, f(1)=0$ and $g(x)=\int_0^x f(t)dt$, we have: a. True, because $g'(x)=f(x)$ which means that $g(x)$ is a differentiable function of x. b. True. Based on the Fundamental Theorem Calculus, $g(x)=\int_0^x f(t)dt$ is a continuous function of x. c. True, because $g'(1)=f(1)=0$, which means that $g(x)$ has a horizontal tangent at $x=1$. d. False. Test signs of $g'(x)$ across $x=1$; we have $..(-)..(0)..(+)..$ and the curve is concave up and does not have a maximum in this region. e. True. Test signs of $g'(x)$ across $x=1$; we have $..(-)..(0)..(+)..$ and the curve is concave up and has a minimum at $x=1$. f. False. Test signs of $g''(x)=f'(x)$ across $x=1$; we have $..(+)..(f '(1))..(+)..$ and there is no concavity change. g. True, because $\frac{dg}{dx}=g'(1)=f(1)=0, g'(x)=f(x)\gt0$ the function $\frac{dg}{dx}$ crosses the x-axis from below to above at $x=1$.
