Question:

In the following cases, check that x = c is a critical point and use Exercise 75 to determine whether ƒ(c) is a local minimum or a local maximum.

(a) f(x) = x - 6x + 14x - 16x + 9x + 12 (c = 1) (b) f(x)= x - x (c=0)

Data From Exercise 75

The Second Derivative Test for critical points fails if ƒ"(c) = 0. This exercise develops a Higher Derivative Test based on the sign of the first nonzero derivative. Suppose that

f'(c) = f'(c)= = f(n-) (c) = 0, but f(c) # 0
