Let  where is shown at right.

  1. Find and .

    Since  was defined as 

  2. Is ?

    Consider the symmetry of the between and .

  3. Express in terms of .


    What is ? What is ?

  4. Is differentiable over the interval ? Explain.

    Points of NON-differentiablity include cusps, endpoints, jumps, holes and vertical tangents.

  5. Find all values of on the interval where has a relative maximum.

    Recall that a local maximum exists where the derivative changes from positive to negative. This could happen where or where  DNE.

    Notice that ; after all, the derivative of an integral is the original function.

  6. Find the line tangent to at .

    What is the slope of at (see second hint in part (e))? What is the -value?

  7. Find all values of on the interval where has a point of inflection.

    Concavity is the slope of the slope. So inflection points are where the slope of the slope changes.
