Nonlinear Equations for A(x) and B(x)

This document presents a system of two nonlinear equations involving functions A(x) and B(x) that are defined in terms of integrals involving a probability density function f(s) between limits a and b, and constants c1, c2, and c3. The question is to calculate the derivatives dA(x)/dx and dB(x)/dx and show that A(x) is decreasing in x while B(x) is increasing in x.

I have a system of two nonlinear equations for functions A(x) and B(x) as

follows:


b
f (s)
1
ds = A(x) 1 +
c3
A(x) + B(x)
x s + c1 A(x) + c2 B(x)


x
f (s)
1
ds = B(x) 1 +
c3
A(x) + B(x)
a s + c1 B(x) + c2 A(x)
In this system f (s) > 0 is a probability density function for some random
variable that takes values on the interval [a, b], both a, b > 0:

f (s) ds = 1
a

Moreover, c1 , c2 > 0 are some strictly positive constants, it is known that c1 <
c2 . Finally, c3 is a constant which can be of any sign and value.
dB(x)
Question: I need to calculate dA(x)
dx and dx and show that A(x) is monotonically deacreasing in x, while B(x) is monotonically increasing in x.
