f(x)=(x−1)3(x+2)5
⇒ f(x)=3(x−1)2(x+2)5+5(x−1)3(x+2)4
⇒ f′(x)=(x−1)2(x+2)4[3(x+2)+5(x−1)]
=(x−1)2(x+2)2[8x+1]
Sign of derivative does not change at x=1 and x=−2.
Sign of derivative changes sign at x=−1/8 from −ve to +ve
Hence function has point of minima.
Also f"(x) function has two points of inflection.
b. f(x)=3sinx+4cosx−5x
⇒f′(x)=3cosx−4sinx−5≤0, hence f(x) is decreasing function
Also f"(x)=−3sinx−4cosx=0 for infinite values of x, hence function has infinite points of inflection.
c. From the graph x=1 point of maxima as well as point of inflection.
d. f(x)(x−1)3/5⇒f;(x)=35(x−1)2/5≥0 for all real x
Also, f′(x)=−3525(x−1)−7/5 which changes sign at x=1
Hence, x=1 is point of inflection.
