The graph of {{MATH_247}} (the derivative of {{MATH_248}} ) is shown below.
Assume {{MATH_249}} is continuous for all real numbers.
{{CMD_250}}
{{ENV_251}}
{{CMD_252}}
{{CMD_253}}
On which of the following intervals is {{MATH_254}} increasing?
{{CMD_255}}
{{CMD_256}}{{MATH_257}}{{CMD_258}}
{{CMD_259}}{{MATH_260}}{{CMD_261}}
{{CMD_262}}{{MATH_263}}{{CMD_264}}
{{CMD_265}}{{MATH_266}}{{CMD_267}}
{{CMD_268}}{{MATH_269}}{{CMD_270}}
{{CMD_271}}
{{CMD_272}}
{{MATH_273}} is increasing where {{MATH_274}}, i.e. on the intervals
{{MATH_275}} and {{MATH_276}}.
{{CMD_277}}
{{CMD_278}}
{{CMD_279}}
Which of the following are critical points of {{MATH_280}}?
{{CMD_281}}
{{CMD_282}}{{MATH_283}}{{CMD_284}}
{{CMD_285}}{{MATH_286}}{{CMD_287}}
{{CMD_288}}{{MATH_289}}{{CMD_290}}
{{CMD_291}}{{MATH_292}}{{CMD_293}}
{{CMD_294}}
{{CMD_295}}
{{MATH_296}} has a critical point at the zeros of {{MATH_297}}, and the places where {{MATH_298}} does not exist. In this case, {{MATH_299}}, {{MATH_300}}, and {{MATH_301}}.
{{CMD_302}}
{{CMD_303}}
{{CMD_304}}
Where do the local maxima occur?
{{CMD_305}}
{{CMD_306}}{{MATH_307}}{{CMD_308}}
{{CMD_309}}{{MATH_310}}{{CMD_311}}
{{CMD_312}}{{MATH_313}}{{CMD_314}}
{{CMD_315}}{{MATH_316}}{{CMD_317}}
{{CMD_318}}
{{CMD_319}}
A local maximum occurs at a critical point where the function
transitions from increasing to decreasing, i.e. the derivative
passes from positive to negative. In this case, we see that the
local maxima occur at {{MATH_320}} and {{MATH_321}}.
{{CMD_322}}
{{CMD_323}}
{{CMD_324}}
Where does a point of inflection occur?
{{CMD_325}}
{{CMD_326}}{{MATH_327}}{{CMD_328}}
{{CMD_329}}{{MATH_330}}{{CMD_331}}
{{CMD_332}}{{MATH_333}}{{CMD_334}}
{{CMD_335}}{{MATH_336}}{{CMD_337}}
{{CMD_338}}
{{CMD_339}}
A point of inflection occurs when the concavity of {{MATH_340}} changes. This is reflected in the sign of {{MATH_341}} changing. This only occurs at one point in this graph, namely {{MATH_342}}.
