Calculus 1: Graphing and Critical Points

For the following function draw a rough sketch of the graph for the 3 cases

f(x)=(xa)(xb)(xc)f(x) = \frac{(x - a)}{(x - b)(x - c)}

Case 1: a < b, c

Case 2: b < a < c

Case 3: b, c < a

Find the critical points of the following function

f(x)=6x5+33x430x3+100f(x) = 6x^5 + 33x^4 - 30x^3 + 100

Use the 2nd Derivative Test to find the inflection points and intervals of concavity for the following function

f(x)=x3(x4)f(x) = x^{3}(x - 4)

Use the second derivative test to find all relative extrema of the following function

f(x)=13x3+2x2+3xf(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x

Find all relative maximum and minimum values for the following function

f(x)=x432x2+256f(x) = x^4 - 32x^2 + 256
