Let A(x) = ∫ f(t) dt, with f(x) shown in the graph below.

At what x values does A(x) have a local max: x
At what x values does A(x) have a local min: x

Restrict your answers to values 0 < x < 6

Okay, look at when f'(x) = 0 on your graph.

It happens at:

x=1 --- the behavior is decreasing, therefore Local maximum

x=3 --- the behavior is increasing, therefore local minimum

x=5 --- the behavior is decreasing, therefore local maximum
