Step 1:

\

The function is \"\".\"\"

\

Domain:\"\"

\

The domain of a function is all values of \"\", those makes the function mathematically correct.

\

The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers.

\

The domain of \"\" is all real numbers.

\

(2) Find the inflection points.

\

The function is \"\".

\

Apply derivative on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

Again apply derivative on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Apply product rule of derivatives \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

Find the inflection points.

\

Equate \"\" to zero.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

The exponential function can not be zero.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

The inflection point is at \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

The inflection point is \"\".

\

The inflection point is at \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"\"\"

\

\"\".

\

The inflection point is \"\".

\

The inflection points are \"\" and \"\".

\

The test intervals are \"\"\"\" and \"\".

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
\

Interval

\
Test Value Sign of \"\"Concavity
\"\"\"\" \"\"Up
\"\" \"\"\"\" \

Down

\
\"\"\"\"\"\"Up
\

The function \"\" is concave up on the interval \"\" and \"\".

\

The function \"\" is concave down on the interval \"\". \ \
