f(x)

f'(x)

f"(x)

You are now ready for your first curve sketch involving max and min inflection points.

Example 24—

Take three derivatives and factor each equation.

Intercepts: y = 0 (0,0), (4,0). max and min: y' = 0. x = 0, x = 3. To find the y values, you must substitute each x
value into the original equation, since that is the curve we are sketching. We get the points (0,0) and (3,-27).
