Can you help me check if this is correct?




Prove that if $f$ is continuous and nonnegative on $[a,b]$ and $g:[a,b]to [a,b]$is differentiable and nondecreasing on $[a,b],$
$$F(x)=int^{g(x)}_{a}f(t)dt$$
is nondecreasing on $[a,b].$




PROOF 1



Since $g:[a,b]to [a,b]$is differentiable and nondecreasing on $[a,b],$ then $g'(x)geq 0,;forall;xin [a,b]$
begin{align} F'(x)&=dfrac{d}{dx}int^{g(x)}_{a}f(t)dt \&=fleft(g(x)right)g'(x) geq 0,;forall;xin [a,b]end{align}
Hence, $$F(x)=int^{g(x)}_{a}f(t)dt$$
is nondecreasing on $[a,b].$



PROOF 2



Let $x,yin[a,b]$ be fixed such that $xleq y$. Since $g$ is nondecreasing, then $g(x)leq g(y).$ Thus, $[a,g(x)]subseteq [a,g(y)]$ and
$$F(x)=int^{g(x)}_{a}f(t)dtleq int^{g(y)}_{a}f(t)dt =F(y)$$
Hence, $$F(x)=int^{g(x)}_{a}f(t)dt$$
is nondecreasing on $[a,b].$

    No matter how many times I hear it, nondecreasing will sound to me like "not monotonically decreasing". Intellectually, I know that's not what it means. But intuitively that's what I think when I see the word. "Increasing" is a better term in my opinion.

Since $g:[a,b]to [a,b]$is differentiable and nondecreasing on $[a,b],$ then $g'(x)geq 0,;forall;xin [a,b]$

Let $g: [a,b]rightarrow[a,b]$ be an arbitrary function that satisfies $xle y implies g(x) le g(y) (text{for all } x,yin[a,b]).\text{Then } displaystyle F(x) := int_a^{g(x)} f(t) mathrm{d}t text{ (for } xin[a,b]text{) is "nondecreasing".}$




Proof. Let $x,yin[a,b]$ with $xle y$. Then (by properties of the Riemann-Integral),
begin{equation*}
F(y) := int_a^{g(y)} f(t) mathrm{d}t = int_a^{g(x)} f(t) mathrm{d}t + int_{g(x)}^{g(y)} f(t) mathrm{d}t underbracegeq_{text{see (*)}} int_a^{g(x)} f(t) mathrm{d}t = F(x). quadsquare
