Problem

Let ff be positive on an open interval containing x=1x=1, and define H(x)=∫g(x)5f(t) dt,H(x)=\int_{g(x)}^{5} f(t)\,dt, where gg is differentiable on the interval and g′(1)>0g'(1)>0. Which of the following statements about H′(1)H'(1) is true? (a) H′(1)H'(1) is positive because it equals f(g(1)) g′(1)f\bigl(g(1)\bigr)\,g'(1). (b) H′(1)H'(1) is negative because it equals −f(g(1)) g′(1)-f\bigl(g(1)\bigr)\,g'(1). (c) H′(1)H'(1) is zero because the upper limit of integration is constant. (d) H′(1)H'(1) is negative because it equals −f(1) g′(1)-f(1)\,g'(1).
