QuestionConsider the function f(x)=x2/5(x5)f(x)=x^{2 / 5}(x-5). This function has two critical numbers A<BA<B
Then A=A= \square and BB \square .
For each of the following intervals, tell whether f(x)f(x) is increasing or decreasing. (,A]:??[A,B]:?[B,)?\begin{array}{ll} (-\infty, A]: ? & ? \\ {[A, B]: ?} & \vee \\ {[B, \infty)} & ? \end{array}
The critical number AA is ? \square and the critical number BB is \square ? \square There are two numbers C<DC<D where either f(x)=0f^{\prime \prime}(x)=0 or f(x)f^{\prime \prime}(x) is undefined.
Then C=C= \square and D=D= \square Finally for each of the following intervals, tell whether f(x)f(x) is concave up or concave down. (,C)(-\infty, C) : ? (C,D)(C, D) ? \square (D,)(D, \infty) ?? \square

Studdy Solution
Determine concavity from sign of f(x) f''(x) :
- (,C) (-\infty, C) : Concave down/up - (C,D) (C, D) : Concave up/down - (D,) (D, \infty) : Concave down/up
The critical numbers are A=0 A = 0 and B=107 B = \frac{10}{7} . The points where the second derivative is zero or undefined are C C and D D .
