(a)
I/D test :
If on the interval, then is increasing on the interval.
If on the interval, then is decreasing on the interval.
Observe the graph.
over the intervals , and .
Therefore the function is increasing over the intervals , and .
over the intervals and .
Therefore the function is decreasing over the intervals and .
(b)
First derivative test :
(i) If changes from positive to negative at , then has a local maximum at .
(ii) If changes from negative to positive at , then has a local minimum at .
Observe the graph.
changes from positive to negative at and .
Therfore the function has a local maximum at and .
changes from negative to positive at and .
Therfore the function has a local minimum at and .
(c)
Concavity test :
If for all in the interval, then the graph of is concave upward on the interval.
If for all in the interval, then the graph of is concave downward on the interval.
Observe the graph.
is increases over the interval , then on the intervals.
Therefore the function has a concave upward over the intervals .
is decreases over the interval , then on the intervals.
Therefore the function has a concave downward over the intervals .
(d)
Inflection points :
Inflection points are the points at which the concavity changes from up to down or down to up.
Observe the graph.
At the function changes from decreasing to increasing, then changes from negative to positive.
Therefore the inflection point is .
(e)
The function is .
Graph :
Such that above all the conditions are satisfied :
(a)
The function is increasing on , and .
The function is decreasing on and .
(b)
The function has a local maximum at and .
The function has a local minimum at and .
(c)
The function has a concave upward on .
The function has a concave downward on .
(d) The inflection point is .
(e) Graph of the function is
.
