67. Proof of the Second Derivative Test Let c be a critical point such that f"(c) > 0 [the case f"(c) < 0 is similar].
(a) Show that f"(c) = lim
(b) Use (a) to show that there exists an open interval (a, b) containing c such that f'(x) < 0 if a <x < c and f'(x) > 0
if c < x < b. Conclude that f(c) is a local minimum.
f'(c +h)
