(a)
\The function is .
Find the critical numbers by applying derivative.
\Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
Equate the derivative to .
For .
Equate the derivative to .
But is not in the domain of
.
Therefore is not considered as a critical number.
The function has a discontinuity at .
Therefore the the point treated as critical point for the function
.
(b)
\Consider the test intervals to find the interval of increasing and decreasing.
\Test intervals are and
.
Test interval | \Test value | \Sign of ![]() | \
Conclusion | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
\
| \
Increasing | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
\
| \
Decreasing | \
The function is increasing on the interval
.
The function is decreasing on the interval
.
(c)
\Use first derivative test to identify all relative extrema.
\At the critical point , the function is discontinuous.
So need a graphing calculator to find the relative extreme.
\(d)
\Graph the function is .
The graph of the function has a relative maximum at .
The function has relative maximum at
.
