- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forward(b) Let f(x) = 2x³ + x²-x+3 on the interval [-1.5, 5]. Use calculus and algebra to justify all answers. Round answers to 3 decimal places. i. Compute the first derivative. ii. Note that f is a polynomial and is thus continuous and differentiable for all real values of x. Use the derivative to find all critical points. iii. For which x-values is f(x) increasing? (Use intervals) iv. For which x-values is f(x) decreasing? v. Compute the second derivative. vi. For which x-values is f(x) concave up? vii. For which x-values is f(x) concave down? viii. Identify a critical point that gives a local maximum and explain how you know there is a maximum using the first derivative test. ix. Identify a critical point that gives a local minimum and explain how you know there is a minimum using the second derivative test. x. Classify each endpoint as either a local maximum or local minimum. xi. Check your work by graphing f(x).arrow_forward
