$\"\"$

(a)

The function is $\"\"$ .

Differentiate $\"\"$ on each side with respect to $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Find the critical points.

Therefore the critical points exist when $\"\"$ .

Equate $\"\"$ to zero.

$\"\"$

The critical point is $\"\"$ .

The domain of $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .

The test intervals are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

Interval	Test Value	Sign of $\"\"$	Conclusion
$\"\"$	$\"\"$	\ $\"\"$ \	Decreasing
$\"\"$	$\"\"$	\ $\"\"$ \	Increasing

The function is increasing on the interval $\"\"$ .

The function is decreasing on the interval $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

(b)

Find the local maximum and local minimum.

The function $\"\"$ has a local minimum at $\"\"$ , because $\"\"$ changes its sign from negative to positive.

Substitute $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Local minimum is $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

(c)

$\"\"$ .

Differentiate $\"\"$ on each side with respect to $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Find the inflection points.

Equate $\"\"$ to zero.

$\"\"$

There is no inflection point, since $\"\"$ is not in the domain.

The test interval is $\"\"$ .

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
