Problem

A function gg is defined by g(x)=∫0xf(t) dtg(x)=\int_{0}^{x} f(t)\,dt, where ff is continuous. At x=5x=5, one has f(5)=0f(5)=0, with f(t)<0f(t)<0 for t<5t<5 sufficiently close to 55 and f(t)>0f(t)>0 for t>5t>5 sufficiently close to 55. Which statement best describes the behavior of gg at x=5x=5? a) gg has a local maximum at x=5x=5. b) gg has a point of inflection at x=5x=5. c) gg has a local minimum at x=5x=5. d) gg is neither increasing nor decreasing near x=5x=5.
