Question

Values of related functions Suppose $f$ is differentiable on $(-\infty, \infty)$ and assume it has a local extreme value at the point $x=2,$ where $f(2)=0 .$ Let $g(x)=x f(x)+1$ and let $h(x)=x f(x)+x+1,$ for all values of $x$ a. Evaluate $g(2), h(2), g^{\prime}(2),$ and $h^{\prime}(2)$ b. Does either $g$ or $h$ have a local extreme value at $x=2 ?$ Explain.

Step 1

We are given that $f(2) = 0$. So, we can plug in $x=2$ into the expressions for $g(x)$ and $h(x)$: $$g(2) = 2f(2) + 1 = 2(0) + 1 = 1$$ $$h(2) = 2f(2) + 2 + 1 = 2(0) + 2 + 1 = 3$$ Now, we need to find $g'(2)$ and $h'(2)$. To do this, we first need to find the Show more…
