Problem

For a continuous function ff defined on an interval containing aa, let F(x)=∫axf(t) dtF(x)=\int_{a}^{x} f(t)\,dt. Which of the following statements is always true? (a) If FF is decreasing at x=cx=c, then f(c)>0f(c)>0. (b) If ff is decreasing on an interval, then FF is decreasing on that interval. (c) If f(x)>0f(x)>0 on an interval, then FF is increasing on that interval. (d) If f(x)<0f(x)<0 at x=cx=c, then FF has a local minimum at cc.
