Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the graph of <em>y</em> = f'(x) and we want to determine the characteristics of f(x).
Part A)
<em>f</em> is increasing whenever <em>f'</em> is positive and decreasing whenever <em>f'</em> is negative.
Hence, <em>f</em> is increasing for the interval:
And <em>f</em> is decreasing for the interval:
Part B)
<em>f</em> has a relative maximum at <em>x</em> = <em>c</em> if <em>f'</em> turns from positive to negative at <em>c</em> and a relative minimum if <em>f'</em> turns from negative to positive to negative at <em>c</em>.
<em>f'</em> turns from positive to negative at <em>x</em> = -2 and <em>x</em> = 1.
And <em>f'</em> turns from negative to positive at <em>x</em> = -1 and <em>x</em> = 3.
Hence, <em>f</em> has relative maximums at <em>x</em> = -2 and <em>x</em> = 1, and relative minimums at <em>x</em> = -1 and <em>x</em> = 3.
Part C)
<em>f</em> is concave up whenever <em>f''</em> is positive and concave down whenever <em>f''</em> is negative.
In other words, <em>f</em> is concave up whenever <em>f'</em> is increasing and concave down whenever <em>f'</em> is decreasing.
Hence, <em>f</em> is concave up for the interval (rounded to the nearest tenths):
And concave down for the interval:
Part D)
Points of inflections are where the concavity changes: that is, <em>f''</em> changes from either positive to negative or negative to positive.
In other words, <em>f </em>has an inflection point wherever <em>f'</em> has an extremum point.
<em>f'</em> has extrema at (approximately) <em>x</em> = -1.5, 0, and 2.2.
Hence, <em>f</em> has inflection points at <em>x</em> = -1.5, 0, and 2.2.
Answer:
x= -11/4 is a maximum.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that
And then we get that if then
. So it has a critical point at
.
Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.
Since
x= -11/4 is a maximum.
