$${F}\left({t}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{6}} }\:{is}\:{a}\:{decreasing}\:{function} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)=\int_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{3}} \frac{{dt}}{\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{6}} } \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)<{F}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)×\left(\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{2}\right)={F}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{6}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{64}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{65}} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)>{F}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)×\left(\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{2}\right)={F}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{6}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{9}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{729}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{730}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{730}}<{f}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)<\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{65}} \\ $$
