Assignment 10: Problem 2 (1 point) Answer the following questions for the function $f(x) = x\sqrt{x^2 + 9}$ defined on the interval $[-5, 7]$. a.) $f(x)$ is concave down on the open interval b.) $f(x)$ is concave up on the open interval c.) The minimum for this function occurs at d.) The maximum for this function occurs at Note: Your answer to parts a and b must be given in interval notation.

Homework 10: Problem 5 If f(x) = 3x^5 - 10x^3 + 5, on what intervals is f''(x) > 0? Enter the (disjoint) interval(s) below using 'U' for union, 'inf' for infinity, and '-inf' for negative infinity if necessary.

Find the open intervals on which the function f is increasing or decreasing, and find the x-values of all relative extrema (turning points). For the following questions, write your answer in curly braces, e.g. {10, 12}. Write {} for the empty set. f has relative maxima at x-values f has relative minima at x-values Give your answers for intervals in interval notation. For example, oc(A,B) is the same as A < x ≤ B or (A,B], where 'o' means 'open' and 'c' means 'closed'. To join two intervals I and J together, like I ∪ J, write union(I, J). f is increasing in the interval f is decreasing in the interval
