Let
Find
and . Since
was defined as , Is
? Consider the symmetry of the
between and . Express
in terms of .
What is? What is ? Is
differentiable over the interval ? Explain. Points of NON-differentiablity include cusps, endpoints, jumps, holes and vertical tangents.
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. Find the line tangent to
at . What is the slope of
at (see second hint in part (e))? What is the -value? 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.
