Sample questions

  1. For f(x) = ___x² + (___)x, find the critical x where f′(x) = 0.
  2. The derivative is f′(x) = 2(x − (___)). Where is f increasing?
  3. The derivative is f′(x) = 2(x − (___)). Where is f decreasing?
  4. What extremum occurs at the vertex of f(x) = ___x²?
  5. On [___, ___], f(x) = ___(x − (___))². Find the maximum value.
