To prove that a differentiable function ss is strictly decreasing on an interval (m,n)(m,n), which additional hypothesis is sufficient? a) s′(x)≤0s'(x)\le 0 for all xx in (m,n)(m,n) and s′(x)≠0s'(x)\neq 0 somewhere in (m,n)(m,n). b) s′(x)≥0s'(x)\ge 0 for all xx in (m,n)(m,n). c) s′(x)<0s'(x)<0 for all xx in (m,n)(m,n). d) s′(x)s'(x) changes sign exactly once on (m,n)(m,n).
