Student number: Second derivatives; concavity; curve sketching; optimization problems (Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.6 and 4.7 of L/G). 1. In each of the following, calculate f 00 ( x ) and determine whether the graph of f ( x ) is concave up or concave down at x : a) f ( x ) = sin(2 x ); x = π/ 4, b) f ( x ) = e- 5 x ; x = 1, c) f ( x ) = ln(5 x ); x = 12. 2. In each of the following, find the second order critical points of f ( x ) and determine which ones (if any) are inflection points: a) f ( x ) = x ln( x ), b) f ( x ) = cosh( x ), c) f (...
