\[g(x)= \int\limits_{0}^{x}f(t) dt\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A) The function g has a local maximum at x = 2.
B) The function g has a local minimum at x = 2.
C) The graph of g has an inflection point at x = 2.
D) The graph of g crosses the x-axis at x = 2.

but what if it isn't because the question says "of the function"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if there is a positive for all x doesnt that mean it never crosses x axis?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
positive derivative means that the curve is proceeding in downward direction

f(2)=0 implies that for f at x=2, y=0 thus option D is right.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you think its d sama?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nothing can be said about the other options as there is no mention of the nature of the derivative of f except that it is +ve which implies f is always increasing in the domain.
So yes it is D :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thanks sama and soul
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hope its correct
