Question

The first set of axes below shows the graph of \(y = {\text{ }}f(x)\) for \( - 4 \leqslant x \leqslant 4\).


 

Let \(g(x) = \int_{ - 4}^x {f(t){\text{d}}t} \) for \( - 4 \leqslant x \leqslant 4\).

(a)     State the value of x at which \(g(x)\) is a minimum.

(b)     On the second set of axes, sketch the graph of \(y = g(x)\).
