Solve the problem.If f(x) is a differentiable function and f ' (c) = 0 at an interior point c of f's domain, and if
for all x in the domain, must f have a local minimum at x = c? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Yes. The point x = c is either a local maximum, a local minimum, or an inflection point. But, since for all x in the domain, there are no inflection points and the curve is everywhere concave up and thus cannot have a local maximum. Hence, there is a local minimum at x = c.
