Question: Therefore, the lines x = 1 and x = - 1 ( 1 ) E . f ' ( x ) = 4 x (

Therefore, the lines x=1 and x=-1
(1)
E.f'(x)=4x(x2-1)-2x2*2x(x2-1)2=0
Since f'(x)>0 when )(-1 and f'(x)0 when )(1 is increasing on the intervals (-,-1) and and decreasing on the intervals (0,1) and
F. The only critical number is x=0. Since f' changes from positive to negative at ,f()= is a local maximum by the First Derivative Test.
G.f''(x)=-4(x2-1)2+4x*2(x2-1)2x(x2-1)4=
Since the simplified numerator, >0 for all x, we have the following.
f''(x)>0>x2-1>0>|x|>
and f''(x)0>|x|
Thus. the curve is concave upward on the intervals (-,-1) and and concave downward on . It has no point of inflection since 1 and are not in the domain of f.
 Therefore, the lines x=1 and x=-1 (1) E.f'(x)=4x(x2-1)-2x2*2x(x2-1)2=0 Since f'(x)>0 when
