The given function is f(x) = x⁶(x-1)⁵
The first derivative is
f'(x) = 6x⁵(x-1)⁵ + 5x⁶(x-1)⁴
= x⁵(x-1)⁴(6x - 6 + 5x)
= x⁵(x-1)⁴(11x - 6)
The critical values are the zeros of f'(x). They are
x = 0, 6/11, and 1.
The critical values indicate that turning points exist for f(x) at the critical points. However, we do not know the nature of the turning points.
Write the first derivative in the form f'(x) = (x-1)⁴(11x⁶ - 6x⁵).
The second derivative is
f''(x) = 4(x-1)³(11x⁶ - 6x⁵) + (x-1)⁴(66x⁵ - 30x⁴)
= (x-1)³(44x⁶ - 24x⁵ + 66x⁶ - 30x⁵ - 66x⁵ + 30x⁴)
= (x-1)³(110x⁶ - 120x⁵ + 30x⁴)
= 10x⁴(x-1)³(11x² - 12x + 3)
The sign of f''(x) at the critical values tell us the nature of the turning point.
f''(0) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x = 0.
f''(6/11) > 0, therefore a local minumum exists at x = 6/11.
f''(1) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x=1.
The graphs shown below confirm these results.
