Question

The diagram below shows the curve $y = \mathrm{f}'(x).$ State the $x$-coordinates of the stationary points for the curve $y = \mathrm{f}(x).$ Hence determine the nature of these stationary points. State the maximal range of values of $x$ such that the curve $y = \mathrm{f}(x)$ is concave downwards, increasing.

Accepted Answer

(a) $x=-3$: stationary point of inflexion; $x=0$: minimum point (b)(i) $x<-3$ (ii) $x<-2$ or $x\ge0$
