To find: the absolute extrema of f and where they occur.
a.

Answer to Problem 52E
The absolute maximum is
Explanation of Solution
Given information: f is an even function, continuous
x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
f | 2 | 0 | −1 |
f’ | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist |
f’’ | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist |
x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
f | + | − | − |
f’ | − | − | + |
f’’ | + | − | − |
f is an even function; therefore, the table can be extended for the values of x between −3 and 0. Since it is even the portion on the left will be the mirror image of the portion on the right, that is, the y -coordinates remain same, the slopes have opposite sign and the concavity remains same.
x | −2 | −1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
f | −1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | −1 |
f’ | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist |
f’’ | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist |
x | −3 | −2 | −1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
f | − | − | + | + | − | − |
f’ | − | + | + | − | − | + |
f’’ | − | − | + | + | − | − |
Since, f < 0 for −3 < x < −2 and 2
Since, f < 0 for −3
Hence, the absolute maximum is
b.
To find: the points of inflection.
b.

Answer to Problem 52E
The points of inflection are
Explanation of Solution
Given information: f is an even function, continuous
X | 0 | 1 | 2 |
F | 2 | 0 | −1 |
f’ | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist |
f’’ | Does not exist | 0 | Does not exist |
X | 0 | 1 | 2 |
F | + | − | − |
f’ | − | − | + |
f’’ | + | − | − |
Hence, the points of inflection are

- The spread of an infectious disease is often modeled using the following autonomous differential equation: dI - - BI(N − I) − MI, dt where I is the number of infected people, N is the total size of the population being modeled, ẞ is a constant determining the rate of transmission, and μ is the rate at which people recover from infection. Close a) (5 points) Suppose ẞ = 0.01, N = 1000, and µ = 2. Find all equilibria. b) (5 points) For the equilbria in part a), determine whether each is stable or unstable. c) (3 points) Suppose ƒ(I) = d. Draw a phase plot of f against I. (You can use Wolfram Alpha or Desmos to plot the function, or draw the dt function by hand.) Identify the equilibria as stable or unstable in the graph. d) (2 points) Explain the biological meaning of these equilibria being stable or unstable.arrow_forwardFind the indefinite integral.
