Composition of two differentiable functions and a related integration and its sign

19 Views Asked by At

$f$ and $g$ are two differentiable functions on the real line such that $f$ is strictly increasing and $g$ is strictly decreasing. Define $p(x)=f(g(x))$ and $q(x)=g(f(x))$ for all real number $x$. Then for $t>0$ the sign of $$\int_0^t p'(x)(q'(x)-3)dx$$ is

a)positive

b)negative

c)dependent on $t$

d)dependent on $f$ and $g$.

I am taking particular examples for $f$ and $g$ such as $f(x)=x$ and $g(x)=-x$, the results are all positive but cannot find out the general result for all functions having those specified properties.
