Question: for f(x) = - 1/2 x 4 + 2/3 x 3 + 5 determine the 1 st derivative Critical Numbers: where f'(x) is undefined &

for f(x) = - 1/2 x4+ 2/3 x3 + 5 determine the

  1. 1 st derivative
  2. Critical Numbers: where f'(x) is undefined & solution to f'(x) = 0

Critical #s: x =_________________________

  1. Intervals of Increase & Decrease and Locations of Max & Min Points based on the 1 st Derivative Test indicating these values on a sign diagram *note: show your work involving test values used
  2. 2nd Derivative
  3. Location of Inflection Points: solution(s) to f''(x) = 0
  4. Intervals of Concavity indicated on a sign diagram *showing the "test values" used
