Question: 1 . For this problem, please consider the function f ( x ) = 8 x 2 ln ( x ) . ( a )

1. For this problem, please consider the function f(x)=8x2ln(x).
(a) What is the domain of f ?
(b) Does f have any x-intercepts? Please list them if any.
(c) Does f have any y-intercepts? Please list them if any.
(d) Please compute f, make a sign chart, and use it to determine the interval(s) where f is increasing, and the interval(s) where f is decreasing.
(e) Please compute f, make a sign chart, and use it to determine the interval(s) where f is concave up, and the interval(s) where f is concave down.
(f) Use the fact that limx0+f(x)=0 and the information you have found above to sketch the graph of f. Please label your axes, and the intercepts, extrema (maxima and minima), and inflection points.
