Let
f(x) = x3 − 2x2.
Find the point(s) on the graph of f where the tangent
line is horizontal.
(x, y)
=
0
(smaller x-value)
(x, y)
=
(larger x-value)
B)
A straight line perpendicular to and passing through the point
of tangency of the tangent line is called the normal to
the curve. Find an equation of the tangent line and the normal to
the curve y = x3 - 3x + 1 at
the point (3, 19)....
f(x) = 7xex
(a) Find the intervals on which f is increasing or
decreasing. (Enter your answers using interval notation.)
(b) Find the local maximum and minimum values of f. (If an
answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(c) Find the intervals of concavity and the inflection points.
(Enter your answers using interval notation.)
(a) For f(x) = 1 4 x 4 − 6x 2 find the intervals where f(x) is
concave up, and the intervals where f(x) is concave down, and the
inflection points of f(x) by the following steps:
i. Compute f 0 (x) and f 00(x).
ii. Show that f 00(x) is equal to 0 only at x = −2 and x =
2.
iii. Observe that f 00(x) is a continuous since it is a
polynomial. Conclude that f 00(x)...
