Which of the following statements about polynomials ff and gg is/are true?

  • I. If f(x)≥g(x)f(x)\ge g(x) for all x≥0x\ge0, then ∫0xf(t)dt≥∫0xg(t)dt\displaystyle\int_0^x f(t)\dd t\ge\int_0^x g(t)\dd t for all x≥0x\ge0.
  • II. If f(x)≥g(x)f(x)\ge g(x) for all x≥0x\ge0, then f′(x)≥g′(x)f'(x)\ge g'(x) for all x≥0x\ge0.
  • III. If f′(x)≥g′(x)f'(x)\ge g'(x) for all x≥0x\ge0, then f(x)≥g(x)f(x)\ge g(x) for all x≥0x\ge0.
