If f is increasing only if f'(x) ≥ for all x ∈ I, and if f is decreasing only if f'(x)≤0 for all x ∈ I If f is increasing, then for all x and c in I we have ((f(x)-f(c)/(x-c))≥0. Taking a limit as x goes to c, we see that f'(c)≥0. Then suppose f'(x)≥0 for all x ∈ I. Let x < y in I. Then there is some c ∈ (x, y) such that f(x)-f(y)=f'(c)(x-y). f'(c)≥0. x-y<0, so f(x)-f(y)≤0 so f is increasing. Show f is decreasing if f'(x)≤0 for all x ∈ I

Question
If f is increasing only if f'(x) ≥ for all x ∈ I, and if f is decreasing only if f'(x)≤0 for all x ∈ I
If f is increasing, then for all x and c in I we have ((f(x)-f(c)/(x-c))≥0.
Taking a limit as x goes to c, we see that f'(c)≥0.
Then suppose f'(x)≥0 for all x ∈ I.
Let x < y in I. Then there is some c ∈ (x, y) such that
f(x)-f(y)=f'(c)(x-y). f'(c)≥0. x-y<0, so f(x)-f(y)≤0 so f is increasing.
Show f is decreasing if f'(x)≤0 for all x ∈ I
