Get started for freeUse the second-derivative test to determine the local extrema of each function in Exercises . If the second-derivative test fails, you may use the first-derivative test. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility. (Note: These are the same functions that you examined with the first-derivative test in Exercises of Section .)
It took Alina half an hour to drive to the grocery store that is 20 miles from her house.
(a) Use the Mean Value Theorem to show that, at some point during her trip, Alina must have been traveling exactly 40 miles per hour.
(b) Why does what you have shown in part (a) make sense in real-world terms?
Use a sign chart for to determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
Sketch careful, labeled graphs of each function f in Exercises 63–82 by hand, without consulting a calculator or graphing utility. As part of your work, make sign charts for the signs, roots, and undefined points of and examine any relevant limits so that you can describe all key points and behaviors of f.
For each set of sign charts in Exercises 53–62, sketch a possible
