Question

Consider the function f(x)=xe^(-x^2)

Find the interval on which f is increasing or decreasing

Find the interval on which f is concave up or concave down

Find all the local maximum or minimum and inflection points

Answer 1

Hey Caitlin,

The first derivative of the function will give you information to help you determine where the function is increasing/decreasing & local maximum/minimum. The second derivative will give you information about concavity and inflection points. I would be happy to help you with problems like these from start to finish.
