Step 1:
\The function .
Consider .
Differentiate with respect to .
.
Recall the derivative of the exponential function .
.
Step 2:
\Find extrema by equating the first derivative to zero.
\ Substitute the
value in original function.
The function has extrema at .
Step 2:
\Determine nature of the extrema, using second derivative test.
\Apply derivative with respect to .
Point | \Sign of![]() | \
![]() | \
\
\ | \
The absolute maximum at .
Step 3:
\For inflection points, equate second derivative to zero.
\
Inflection points:
\Inflection points are .
Step 3:
