34. For n = 2, f ( x )= n ( n- 1)( x - a ) ; there is a sign change of f (point of in ection) at ( a, 0) if and n - 2 only if n is odd. For n =1, y = x-a , so there is no point of in ection. 35. f ( x )=1 / 3 - 1 / [3(1 + x ) ]so f is increasing on [0 , + 8 )thusif 2 / 3 x> 0, then f ( x ) >f (0)=0,1+ x/ 3 - 1+ x> 0, 3v 1+ x< 1+ x/ 3. 3 2.5 v

06 0 37. x = sin x on [0 , + 8 ): let f ( x )= x- sin x . Then f (0) = 0 and f ( x )=1 - cos x = 0, so f ( x ) is increasing on [0 , + 8 ). 4

-2 41. Break the interval [ - 5 , 5] into ten subintervals and check f ( x ) at each endpoint. We find f ( - 1) > 0 and f (0) < 0. Refine [ - 1 , 0] into ten subintervals; f ( - 0 . 2) > 0, f ( - 0 . 1) < 0; repeat, f ( - 0 . 18) > 0, f ( - 0 . 17) < 0, so x = - 0 . 175 is correct to two decimal places. Note also that f (1) = 0 so there are two in ection points. 42. Break the interval [ - 5 , 5] into ten subintervals and check f ( x ) at each endpoint. We discover f ( - 1) > 0, f (0) < 0 and f (1) > 0. Refine [ - 1 , 0] into ten subintervals and we see that f ( - 0 . 6) > 0, f ( - 0 . 5) < 0. Subdivide [ - 0 . 6 , - 0 . 5] into 10 subintervals and we see that f ( - 0 . 58) > 0 and f ( - 0 . 57) < 0. Thus x = - 0 . 575 is within 0 . 005 of the true ro ot and is thus correct to two decimal places. For the other root we could pro ceed in a similar manner, but it easier to note that f (x) is an even function and thus the other root is x =0 . 575 to two decimal places. x - 81 x - 585 x + 397 3 2 43. f ( x )=290 . The denominator has complex ro ots, so is always positive; hence (3 x - 5 x +8) 2 3 the x -coordinates of the points of in ection of f ( x ) are the ro ots of the numerator (if it changes sign). A plot of the numerator over [ - 5 , 5] shows roots lying in [ - 3 , - 2], [0 , 1], and [2 , 3]. Breaking each of these intervals into ten subintervals locates the ro ots in [ - 2 . 5 , - 2 . 4], [0 . 6 , 0 . 7] and [2 . 7 , 2 . 8]. Thus to one decimal place the roots are x = - 2 . 45 , 0 . 65 , 2 . 75. x +5 x +14 x +30 x- 7 5 3 2 44. f ( x )= 2 . Points of in ection will occur when the numerator changes sign, ( x +1) 2 5 / 2 since the denominator is always positive. A plot of y =2 x +5 x +14 x +30 x- 7 suggests that there 5 3 2 is only one root and it lies in [0 , 1]. Subdivide into ten subintervals and determine that the root lies between x =0 . 2 and x =0 . 3. Thus to one decimal place the point of in ection is located at x =0 . 25. 45. f ( x ) - f ( x )= x -x =( x + x )( x - x ) < 0if x <x for x , x in [0 , + 8 ), so f ( x ) <f ( x ) 2 2 1 2 1212 12 12 1 212 and f is thus increasing. 1 x -x 2 1 46. f ( x ) - f ( x )= 1 - = 1 2 12 12 12 12 is decreasing.

47. (a) If x <x where x and x are in I , then f ( x ) <f ( x ) and g ( x ) <g ( x ), so f ( x )+ g ( x ) < 12 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 1 f ( x )+ g ( x ), ( f + g )( x ) < ( f + g )( x ). Thus f + g is increasing on I . 2 2 1 2 (b) Case I: If f and g are = 0on I , and if x <x where x and x are in I , then 0 <f ( x ) <f ( x ) 12 1 2 1 2 and 0 <g ( x ) <g ( x ), so f ( x ) g ( x ) <f ( x ) g ( x ), ( f g )( x ) < ( f g )( x ). Thus f g is 1 2 11 22 1 2 increasing on I . Case II: If f and g are not necessarily positive on I then no conclusion can be drawn: for example, f ( x )= g ( x )= x are both increasing on ( -8, 0), but ( f g )( x )= x is decreasing there. 2 48. (a) f ( x )= x , g ( x )=2 x (b) f ( x )= x , g ( x )= x +6 (c) f ( x )=2 x , g ( x )= x
b 49. (a) f ( x )=6 ax +2 b =6 a ( x + ), f ( x ) = 0 when x = - b . f changes its direction of concavity 3a 3a at x = - b so - b is an in ection point. 3a3a (b) If f ( x )= ax + bx + cx + d has three x -intercepts, then it has three ro ots, say x , x and x ,so 3 2 12 3 we can write f ( x )= a ( x-x )( x - x )( x - x )= ax + bx + cx + d , from which it follows that 3 2 1 2 3 b = -a ( x + x + x ). Thus - b = 1 x + x + x ), which is the average. 123 1233a3( (c) f ( x )= x ( x - 3 x +2)= x ( x- 1)( x - 2) so the intercepts are 0, 1, and 2 and the average is 1. 2 2 f ( x )=6 x- 6=6( x- 1) changes sign at x =1. 50. f ( x )=6 x +2 b , so the point of in ection is at x = -b b moves the point of 3 . Thus an increase in in ection to the left. 51. (a) Let x <x belong to ( a, b ). If both belong to ( a, c ] or both belong to [ c, b ) then we have 1 2 f ( x ) <f ( x ) by hypothesis. So assume x <c<x . We know by hypothesis that f ( x ) <f ( c ), 1 2 1 2 1 and f ( c ) <f ( x ). We conclude that f ( x ) <f ( x ). 2 1 2 (b) Use the same argument as in part (a), but with inequalities reversed. 52. By Theorem 5.1.2, f is increasing on any interval ((2 n - 1) p, 2( n +1) p )( n =0 , 1 , 2 , ), because f ( x ) = 1 + cos x> 0on[(2 n- 1) p, (2 n +1) p ]. By Exercise 51 (a) we can piece these intervals together to show that f ( x ) is increasing on ( -8, + 8 ). 53. t =7 . 67 1000

3. (a) f ( x )=6 x- 6 and f ( x ) = 6, with f (1) = 0. For the first derivative test, f < 0 for x< 1 and f > 0 for x> 1. For the second derivative test, f (1) > 0. (b) f ( x )=3 x - 3 and f ( x )=6 x . f ( x )=0at x = 1. First derivative test: f > 0 for x<- 1 2 and x> 1, and f < 0 for - 1 <x< 1, so there is a relative maximum at x = - 1, and a relative minimum at x = 1. Second derivative test: f < 0at x = - 1, a relative maximum; and f > 0 at x = 1, a relative minimum. 4. (a) f ( x )=2sin x cos x = sin 2 x (so f (0) = 0) and f ( x ) = 2 cos 2 x . First derivative test: if x is near 0 then f < 0 for x< 0 and f > 0 for x> 0, so a relative minimum at x = 0. Second derivative test: f (0)=2 > 0, so relative minimum at x =0. (b) g ( x )=2tan x sec x (so g (0) = 0) and g ( x )=2sec x (sec x + 2 tan x ). First derivative test: 2 g < 0 for x< 0 and g > 0 for x> 0, so a relative minimum at x = 0. Second derivative test: g (0)=2 > 0, relative minimum at x =0. (c) Both functions are squares, and so are positive for values of x near zero; both functions are zero at x = 0, so that must be a relative minimum. 5. (a) f ( x )=4( x- 1) , g ( x )=3 x - 6 x +3so f (1) = g (1)=0. 3 2 (b) f ( x ) = 12( x - 1) , g ( x )=6 x- 6, so f (1) = g (1) = 0, which yields no information. 2 (c) f < 0 for x< 1 and f > 0 for x> 1, so there is a relative minimum at x =1; g ( x )=3( x- 1) > 0 on both sides of x = 1, so there is no relative extremum at x =1. 2

Finally f (0) = d ,so d = 0; and f (1) = a + b + c + d = a + b = -a/ 2so a = - 2. Thus f ( x )= - 2 x +3 x . 3 2 54.

If b - 3 ac = 0, then 2 f ( x ) = 0 has only one real solution at, say, x = c so f is always increasing or always decreasing on both ( -8,c ] and [ c, + 8 ), and hence on ( -8, + 8 ) because f is continuous everywhere.

Then by LH opitals Rule, ln(1 + 1 /x ) - 1 /x 2 lim x ln(1 + 1 /x ) = lim = lim 1 /x (1+1 /x )( - 1 /x ) =1 2 x + 8 x + 8 x +8 x ln(1 + 1 /x ) - 1 and thus lim f ( x ) = lim is indeterminate. x x + 8 x + 8 1 By LH opitals Rule lim f ( x ) = lim ln 1+ 1 x - x +1 =0. x + 8 x + 8 Thus on [1 , + 8 ) the function f starts negative and increases towards zero, so it is negative on the whole interval. So f ( x ) is decreasing, and f ( x ) >f ( x + 1). Set x = n and obtain ln(1 + 1 /n ) > ln(1 + 1 / ( n + 1)) . Since ln x and its inverse function e are both increasing, n + 1 n+2 x it follows that (1 + 1 /n ) > (1+1 / ( n + 1)) . n + 1 n +2
