  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. 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:

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?

clever spindle
#

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
