When F is defined for x ≥ −6 by F(x)= integral from -6 to x (6t^2+5t-1)/(3+4t^2) dt. determine the largest interval(s) on which F is decreasing.

OpenStudy (freckles):

have you found F'(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, going to do it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F'(x)= (6x^2+5x-1)/(3+4x^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles so how do I find where F(x) is increasing?

OpenStudy (freckles):

the function F is increasing when F' is positive

OpenStudy (freckles):

the function F is decreasing when F' is negative

OpenStudy (freckles):

solve the inequality \[\frac{6x^2+5x-1}{3+4x^2} <0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it, thank you
