Integrating gives . For in the interior of the physical density range, this is . The pure matter and pure coasting endpoints have ages and .
For nonnegative matter and coasting-fluid densities, . Since on the normalized integration interval, the age integrand lies between and one. The age of a flat matter-coasting-fluid universe therefore decreases monotonically with the matter fraction and stays between the pure-fluid endpoint ages.
