Find the number of roots of $F(x)= int_0^x e^t(t^2-3t-5)mathrm dt , x>0$ in the interval $(0,4)$
$begingroup$
Let $$F(x)= int_0^x e^t(t^2-3t-5)mathrm dt , x>0$$
Find the number of roots of $F(x)=0$ in the interval $(0,4)$.
My attempt: I simply integrated it and got $F(x)=e^x(x(x-5))$ which has roots $0$ and $5$ and none is between $0$ and $4$. So the answer is $0$, which is correct.
My question: Is there any other way to do this question in comparatively less time?

You have $F(0)=0, F'(x)=e^x(x^2-3x-5)<0$ in $(0,4)$. This means $F(x)$ is strictly decreasing in $(0,4)$, so that $F(x)<0$ in $(0,4)$.
