How do I identify that the coordinate (2,3) is the maximum point of the curve f(x)?

Start by finding the first derivative of the function - by differentiating f(x) with respect to x. Then substitute the x-coordinate, in this case 2, into the first derivative and it will equal zero if (2,...

Given that f(x)= (4/x) - 3x + 2 find i) f'(x) and ii) f''(1/2)

This question is asking us to find the first order derivative of f(x) with respect to x, then the second order derivative when x=1/2i) Firstly, let's consider (d/dx)4/x:There are two ways to think about d...
