Test 9

This document contains two curve sketching problems from a Pure Mathematics revision test. Problem 1 involves finding the derivative and second derivative of the function f(x)=x^2(x+1)^3, determining where the derivatives are positive and negative, finding relative extrema and points of inflection, determining asymptotes, and sketching the graph. Problem 2 involves finding the first and second derivatives of the function f(x)=(2x^2-14x+25)e^2x, determining where the functions and derivatives are positive, finding points of inflection and asymptotes, and sketching the graph. The document provides the problems, parts, and mark allocation for a 50 minute Pure Mathematics
