To determine
To find:
The interval where F is concave downward
Answer
(-1, 1)
Explanation
1) Concept:
i) The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
If f is continuous on [a, b], then the function g defined by
gx=∫axf(t)dt a≤x≤b
is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a,b), and g'x=f(x)
ii)
If f''x<0 for all x in an interval I, the graph of f is concave downward on I
2) Given:
Fx=∫1xftdt
3) Calculations:
By using Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,
F'x=f(x)
Again differentiating,
F''x=f'(x)
From the given graph in interval -1, 1 he graph of f is decreasing hence f’(x)<0 that is F’’(x)<0 in -1, 1 . Hence by definition of concavity F is concave downward within interval (-1, 1)
Conclusion:
Therefore, the function is concave down on interval (-1, 1).
