Q. ou must state the required derivative(s).275. Find and identify any stationary points for f(x)=ex−4x+2.For what values of x is the function concave up?
Find Derivative of f(x): First, let's find the derivative of f(x) to locate stationary points.f′(x)=dxd[ex−4x+2]f′(x)=ex−4
Locate Stationary Points: Now, set the derivative equal to zero to find stationary points. ex−4=0ex=4
Solve for x: Solve for x.x=ln(4)
Find Second Derivative: To identify the nature of the stationary point, find the second derivative.f′′(x)=dxd[ex−4]f′′(x)=ex
Check Concavity: Plug in the value of x into the second derivative to check concavity.f′′(ln(4))=eln(4)f′′(ln(4))=4
Identify Minimum Point: Since f′′(ln(4))>0, the function is concave up at x=ln(4), and this is a minimum point.
Find Concave Up Points: To find where the function is concave up, look for where f′′(x)>0. Since f′′(x)=ex and ex is always positive, the function is concave up for all x.
