Answer from: Quest

The answer is (d) 7/2======we have $f(x) = \begin{cases} x & \text{ for } x \le 0 \\ x + 1 & \text{ for } x \ \textgreater \ 0 \end{cases}$ we also have an integral $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx$ notice how function f splits up at x = 0. there's a left piece and a right pieceso we'll need to do the same thing with our integral: split it at x = 0we use a property of integrals that allows us to split up and sum: $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx = \displaystyle\int_{-2}^0 x\, f(x)\; dx + \displaystyle\int_{0}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx$ notice that for the piecewise function f, the function has the equationf(x) = x when x ≤ 0. so for the integral $\int_{-2}^0 x\, f(x)\; dx$ , f(x) = x so it changes into $\begin{aligned} \int_{-2}^0 x\, f(x)\; dx & = \int_{-2}^0 x \cdot x\; dx \\ & = \int_{-2}^0 x^2\; dx \\ & = \left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{-2}^0 & & \text{\footnotesize antidifferentiate} \\ & = 0 - \frac{(-2)^3}{3} \\ & = \frac{8}{3} \end{aligned}$ for the piecewise function f, the function has the equationf(x) = x+1 when x > 0. for the integral $\int_{0}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx$ , we have $\begin{aligned} \int_{0}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx & = \int_{0}^1 x(x+1)\; dx \\ & = \int_{0}^1 (x^2+x)\; dx \\ & = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^1 \\ & = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} - 0 = \frac{5}{6} \end{aligned}$ therefore, back to our splitted integral: $\begin{aligned} \displaystyle\int_{-2}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx & = \displaystyle\int_{-2}^0 x\, f(x)\; dx + \displaystyle\int_{0}^1 x\, f(x)\; dx \\ & = \frac{8}{3} + \frac{5}{6} \\ & = \frac{7}{2} \end{aligned}$

Answer: the interval on which the curve is concave up is (-∞, -1/2)====== $\displaystyle y = \int_{0}^x \frac{1}{1 + t + t^2} \; dt$ we find the interval where this curve is concave up by finding the interval in which the 2nd derivative is positive.differentiate the curve equation with respect to x $\begin{aligned} \frac{dy}{dx} & = \frac{d}{dx} \int_{0}^x \frac{1}{1 + t + t^2} \; dt \end{aligned}$ let the function f denote be the anti-derivative of the inside expression, i.e. a function such that $(d/dx)f(x) = 1/(1 + t + t^2)$ .then use the fundamental theorem of calculus: $\begin{aligned} \frac{dy}{dx} & = \frac{d}{dx} \int_{0}^x \frac{1}{1 + t + t^2} \; dt \\& = \frac{d}{dx} \big[ f(x) - f(0) \big] & & \text{\footnotesize apply ftc} \\ & = \frac{d}{dx}f(x) - 0 \\ & = \frac{1}{x + x + x^2} & & \text{\footnotesize since $\frac{d}{dx}f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x + x^2}$ } \end{aligned}$ differentiate again to get second derivative. we can use chain rule with 1/x as the outside function and 1 + x + x² as the inside function $\begin{aligned} \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right) & = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{1 + x + x^2} \right) \\ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} & = \frac{-1}{\left(1 + x + x^2\right)^2} \cdot \tfrac{d}{dx}(1 + x + x^2) \\ & = \frac{-1}{\left(1 + x + x^2\right)^2} \cdot (1 + 2x) \\ & = \frac{-(1 + 2x)}{\left(1 + x + x^2\right)^2} \end{aligned}$ find critical numbers of the second derivative. these numbers are where the 2nd deriv. is undefined or zero.where the 2nd derivative is zero: set (d²y/dx²) to equal 0 and solve for x $\begin{aligned} 0 & = \frac{-(1 + 2x)}{\left(1 + x + x^2\right)^2} \\ 0 & = -(1+2x) \\ -1 & = 2x \\ x & = -1/2 \end{aligned}$ where the 2nd derivative is undefined: if the denominator is equal to zero, the derivative will be undefeined. attempting to solve the equation 1 + x + x² = 0results in a discriminant of $b^2 - 4ac = 1^2 - 4(1)(1) = -3$ meaning that the equal 1 + x + x² = 0 has no real solutions and therefore will never equal zero.======our only critical number is x = -1/2.this forms two intervals to test the sign for: (-∞, -1/2) and (-1/2, ∞)test values into the 2nd derivative for (-∞, -1/2)if we try x = -1, we get $\begin{aligned} \left.\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right|_{x = -1} & = \frac{-(1+2(-1))}{\left(1+(-1)+(-1)^2\right)^2} \\ & = \frac{-(1-2)}{1} \\ & = 1 \end{aligned}$ so the since the 2nd derivative of the curve is positive on the interval (-∞, -1/2), the curve is concave up on (-∞, -1/2)test values into the 2nd derivative for (-1/2, ∞)if we try x = 0, we get $\begin{aligned} \left.\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right|_{x = 0} & = \frac{-(1+2(0))}{\left(1+(0)+(0)^2\right)^2} \\ & = \frac{-(1)}{1} \\ & = -1 \end{aligned}$ so the since the 2nd derivative of the curve is positive on the interval (-∞, -1/2), the curve is concave down on (-∞, -1/2).the interval on which the curve is concave up is (-∞, -1/2)
