QUESTION 1
If the derivative f ′ (x) of a function f is given by
x2
f ′ (x) = 1 −
(3x − 2)2
(a) Write f ′ (x) in quotient form and use the sign pattern to determine the interval(s) (6)
over which f increases and over which it decreases.
(b) Determine f ′′ (x) and use the sign pattern of f ′′ (x) to determine:
(i) the intervals where the graph of f is concave up and where it is (7)
concave down
(3)
(ii) the x − coordinate(s) of the local extreme point(s).

Solution
(a) ′ (x)

(3x − 2)2 − x 2
f ′ (x) =
(3x − 2)2

9x 2 − 12x + 4 − x 2
f =

f ′ (x) =
(3x − 2)2
′ (x)
4(2x 2 − 3x + 1)
f =
(3x − 2)2
4[(2x − 1)(x − 1)]
f ′ (x) =
(3x − 2)2
(b) 1 2 (5)
Critical points for f ′ (x) are: , and 1. These critical points split the number
2 3
line into four distinct intervals:
1 1 2 2
x< , <x< , < x < 1, x>1
2 2 3 3
Note:
Critical points (stationary points) are points on a graph where f ′ (x) = 0
or f ′ (x) does not exist.

i. e. , it affects the sign pattern, hence it must be investigated.
f is concave up where they are positive signs on the sign
table.
f is concave down where they are negative signs on the sign
table.

f is concave up on (−∞, 0) ∪ ( , ∞) and f is concave down

∴ the x − coordinate(s) of the local extreme poit(s) are x = and x = 1.
