The graph of a differentiable function ff has the following property at x=3x=3: the slope of ff is negative for x<3x<3, zero at x=3x=3, and positive for x>3x>3. Which conclusion about the accumulation function g(x)=∫0xf(t) dtg(x)=\int_{0}^{x} f(t)\,dt is most strongly supported by this information? a) gg has a local minimum at x=3x=3 because ff attains a local minimum there. b) gg is decreasing for x<3x<3 and increasing for x>3x>3 because f′(x)f'(x) changes from negative to positive at x=3x=3. c) gg has a point of inflection at x=3x=3 because its concavity changes sign there. d) gg has a local maximum at x=3x=3 because its derivative changes from decreasing to increasing.
