Dierentiate f (x) = 2x + 5 x2 + 1 2x log3 x x2 and prove that f is (strictly)

2. Dierentiate using the product rule f (x) = 3. Dierentiate two times f (x) = (x2 +1)e3x increasing.

4. Decreasing/Increasing functions Given the function f (x) = a(x a)(x 1), a is a parameter. a Expand the right hand side and determine f (x). b Use signdiagrams to determine the sign variation of f (x). c Use b. to examine where f (x) is increasing/decreasing. 5. Own choice students
