Please show work and justify your answers for full credit! Please present your work
neatly.

1) Find the inflection points of f ( x) x 4 x 3 3x 2 2. (5 points)

2) Sketch the graph of f ( x) 3 x 5 5 x 3 with the aid of a graphing
calculator. Use calculus to discuss the behavior of f(x) with respect to:
location of the critical points, intervals where the function is
increasing/decreasing, and concavity. (10 points)
3) Find values of a and b so that the function f ( x) x 2 ax b has a local
minimum at point (6, -5). (5 points)
4) Sketch the graph of f(x) given that:

f ' (2) 0; f ' ( x) 0 when x 2 ; f ' ( x) 0 when x 2

f ' ' (4) 0; f ' ' ( x) 0 when x 4 ; f ' ' ( x) 0 when x 4 (5 points)

5) Let f be a function with f(x) > 0 for all x. Set g 1f .

a) If f is increasing in an interval around x0 , what about g?
b) If f has a local maximum at x1 , what about g?
c) If f is concave down at x 2 , what about g? [5 points]
6) For what values of a and b does the function
f ( x) x 3 ax 2 bx 2 have a local maximum at x = -3 and a local
minimum at x = -1? [10 points]
7) Sketch the graph of a function that satisfies all of the given conditions:
f (0) f ' (0) f ' (2) f ' (4) f ' (6) 0,
f ' ( x) 0 if 0 x 2 or 4 x 6,
f ' ( x) 0 if 2 x 4 or x 6,
[10 points]
f ' ' ( x) 0 when 0 x 1 or 3 x 5,
f ' ' ( x) 0 if 1 x 3 or x 5,
f ( x) is an even function .

Bonus Question [3 points: No partial credit]

Suppose f and g are both concave upward on (, ). Under what
condition(s) will the composite function f o g be concave upward?

A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller
the fraction. Tolstoy, Count Lev Nikolgevich (1828-1920) In H. Eves Return to Mathematical Circles, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1989.
