- Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
- Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with: ```diff

use the FFTC and take the derivative of the integral:
I=F(x)-F(4)
F(4) is a constant so will go to 0
F(x)→f(x)
now we want to figure out the interval for which t² is positive, which is (-∞,∞)
an alternative method is to simply integrate it:
⅓t³→ ⅓x³-(64/3)
take the derivative:
x²
doesnt zero on x^2 equals zero which is not increasing?
and zero is within (-inf, +inf)
strictly increasing excludes it and increasing includes it
how do i know when to treat a function as strictly increasing?
strictly increasing is when it has a derivative always above zero, or when the graph has no flat points
increasing is when the derivative is greater than or equal to zero, so the graph can have flat points but no turning points
but further on you might get to different definitions for strictly increasing
which would deem this function strictly increasing too
