Question:
Consider the function f(x) = (abx + (1 - a)cx)1/x, where a, b, and c are positive real numbers with 0 < a < 1.
a. Graph f for several sets of (a, b, c). Verify that in all cases f is an increasing function with a single inflection point, for all x.
b. Use analytical methods to determinein terms of a, b, and c.
c. Show that and for any 0 < a < 1.
d. Estimate the location of the inflection point of f.
