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
.
