Answers :
Problem 1 :
(i) Concave up on (-∞, 2) and (4, π).
Concave down on (2, 4).
point of inflection are (2, -16) and (4, 0).
(ii) Concave down on (0, 3π/4) and (7π/4, 2π).
Concave up on (3π/4, 7π/4).
Point of inflection are (3π/4, 0) and (7π/4, 0).
(iii) Concave up on (-∞, 0) and concave down on (0, ∞)
point of inflection is (0, 0).
Problem 2 :
(i) local maximum point is (1, 2) and local maximum is 2.
(ii) local minimum is -1/e
(iii) Local maximum = 1/e2 and Local minimum = 0
Problem 3 :
