Use the second-derivative test to determine the local extrema of each function in Exercises . If the second-derivative test fails, you may use the first-derivative test. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility. (Note: These are the same functions that you examined with the first-derivative test in Exercises of Section .)
Use a sign chart for to determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
Sketch careful, labeled graphs of each function f in Exercises 63–82 by hand, without consulting a calculator or graphing utility. As part of your work, make sign charts for the signs, roots, and undefined points of and examine any relevant limits so that you can describe all key points and behaviors of f.
Find the critical points of the function
For the graph of f in the given figure, approximate all the values x ∈ (0, 4) for which the derivative of f is zero or does not exist. Indicate whether f has a local maximum, minimum, or neither at each of these critical points.
