3. Given the function fS(2) =x-4Vx: a. Find all critical numbers of f(x). b. The critical numbers of a function break the domain of the function into increasing and decreasing intervals. Use evidence fröm the first derivative to classify each interval of the domain as increasing or decreasing. c. Use the second derivative to show that f(x) has no point of inflection and is everywhere concave up. d. Use the information from either part b or part c to identify the critical numbers in part a as the inputs of a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither. Explain briefly how the information led you to your conclusion.

Since this is a 4 part question, I will post them separately per Bartleby policy. Please do part D. Thanks

3. Given the function fS(2) =x-4Vx:
a. Find all critical numbers of f(x).
b. The critical numbers of a function break the domain of the function into
increasing and decreasing intervals. Use evidence fröm the first derivative to
classify each interval of the domain as increasing or decreasing.
c. Use the second derivative to show that f(x) has no point of inflection and is
everywhere concave up.
d. Use the information from either part b or part c to identify the critical numbers in
part a as the inputs of a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither. Explain
briefly how the information led you to your conclusion.
