Question
Let \( f(x) = x \ln(x^2) - x \).

Use the second derivative test to find the local min/max of \( f(x) \).

\[ f''(x) = \quad \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \]

At this point, you should find the critical points of \( f \) and test the sign of \( f'' \) there.

- \( f \) has a local max of \[ \quad \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \quad \] at \( x = \quad \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \)

- \( f \) has a local min of \[ \quad \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \quad \] at \( x = \quad \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \)

Further, the graph changes concavity at \( x = \quad \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \)

from concave \(\quad \text{[Select an answer]} \quad\) to concave \(\quad \text{[Select an answer]} \quad\).

Now try to sketch a graph of \( f(x) \) on your own paper, noting the min, max, and inflection point(s). (Don't worry about the \( x \)-intercepts.)
