Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1: Determine the concavity of f(x) = x 3 − 6 x 2 −12 x + 2 and identify any points of inflection of f(x).
Because f(x) is a polynomial function, its domain is all real numbers.
Testing the intervals to the left and right of x = 2 for f″(x) = 6 x −12, you find that
hence, f is concave downward on (−∞,2) and concave upward on (2,+ ∞), and function has a point of inflection at (2,−38)
Example 2: Determine the concavity of f(x) = sin x + cos x on [0,2π] and identify any points of inflection of f(x).
The domain of f(x) is restricted to the closed interval [0,2π].
Testing all intervals to the left and right of these values for f″(x) = −sin x − cos x, you find that
hence, f is concave downward on [0,3π/4] and [7π/4,2π] and concave upward on (3π/4,7π/4) and has points of inflection at (3π/4,0) and (7π/4,0).
