Problem

If mm and nn are positive integers and f(x)=∫1x(t−a)2n(t−b)2m+1 dtf(x)=\displaystyle\int_1^x(t-a)^{2n}(t-b)^{2m+1}\,dt, where a≠ba\ne b, then (1) x=bx=b is a point of local minimum. (2) x=bx=b is a point of local maximum. (3) x=ax=a is a point of local minimum. (4) x=ax=a is a point of local maximum.
