(a)
\Normal density function is .
Where is mean and positive constant
is called standard deviation.
Let the function in special case by removing the factor and considering
.
Therefore, the function is .
Horizontal asymptote :
\Therefore is the horizontal asymptote of the function.
Maximum value:
\Consider .
Differentiate on each side with respect to .
Find the critical points by equating the derivatve to zero.
\The function has the maximum value at , Since
.
Maximum value is .
Inflection points:
\.
Differentiate on each side with respect to .
Find the inflection points by equating to zero.
Substitute in the function.
Inflection point is .
(b)
