Prove the inequality 1/3=

We'll prove the inequality, using the following
property:


If the function could be integrated over the range [a;b]
and a < f(x) < b, then Int adx < Int f(x)dx < Int
bdx.


First, we need to determine the monotony of the function over
the range [1 ; 2].


We'll calculate the 1st derivative of f(x) using
quotient rule.


f'(x) = [(3x-2)'*(x+2)
-(3x-2)*(x+2)']/(x+2)^2


f'(x) = [3(x+2) - 3x +
2]/(x+2)^2


f'(x) = (3x + 6 - 3x +
2)/(x+2)^2


We'll eliminate like
termS:


f'(x) = (8)/(x+2)^2


We notice
that f'(x) is positive over the range [1 ; 2], then the function is increasing over the range [1
; 2].


That means that f(1) < f(x) < f(2)
(1)


We'll calculate f(1) = 1/3


We'll
calculate f(2) = 1


We'll re-write the inequality
(1):


1/3 < f(x) < 1


We'll
integrate:


(1/3)*Int dx < Int f(x)dx < Int
dx


We'll apply
Leibniz-Newton:


(1/3)*(2-1)< Int f(x)dx <
(2-1)


(1/3)*< Int f(x)dx <
1


We notice that the given inequality (1/3)*<
Int f(x)dx < 1 is verified, over the range [1 ; 2].
