Let ff be continuous on [a,b][a,b] and differentiable on (a,b)(a,b). Which one of the following conditions is sufficient to conclude that ff is strictly increasing on (a,b)(a,b)? a) f′(x)≥0 for every x∈(a,b)f'(x)\ge 0\text{ for every } x\in(a,b) b) f′(x)>0 for at least one x∈(a,b)f'(x)>0\text{ for at least one } x\in(a,b) c) f′(x)=0 for at least one x∈(a,b)f'(x)=0\text{ for at least one } x\in(a,b) d) f′(x)>0 for every x∈(a,b)f'(x)>0\text{ for every } x\in(a,b)
