C) Find the first derivative of f

D) Find all critical points of f

E) Identify those intervals where f is increasing and those intervals where f is decreasing

F) Use the first derivative test to identify local extrema

G) Find the second derivative of f

H) Identify those intervals where f is concave up and those intervals where f is concave down

I) Find all inflection points of f

J) Sketch the graph of f over the interval [-2, 2]

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Given that f(x)=3sin(/2)implies that f(x)=3(1)=3   since sin(/2)=1

therefore f(x)=3 which is a constant function

(A) since f(-x)=f(x)=3sin(/2). Hence f(x) is an even function

(B) Hence f(x) is not an odd function

(C) the first derivative of f(x) is 0 as f(x) is constant function

(D) No critical points to the function f(x) as f(x) is constant function

(E)As f(x) is constant , f is neither increasing nor decreasing.

(F) No extrema

(G) The second derivative of f is zero as f(x) is constant

(H) no where f is concave up and f is concave down as f(x) is constant
