Consider the following.
y = 1/2 x2 - x
a) find y' = f '(x).
f '(x) = _______
(b) Find the critical value.
(c) Find the critical point. (x,y)=
(d) Find intervals of x-values where the function
is increasing. (Enter your answer using interval
notation.)
Find intervals of x-values where the function is
decreasing. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
(e) Classify the critical point as a relative maximum, a
relative minimum, or a horizontal point of inflection. In each
case, check your conclusions with a graphing utility. (If an answer
does not exist, enter DNE.)
relative maxima (x,y) =
relative minima (x,y) =
horizontal point of inflection (x,y) =
