8 Let f be twice differentiable on (a, b) and let there be points x1 < x2 < x3 in (a, b)
such that f (x1 ) > f (x2 ) and f (x3 ) > f (x2 ). Prove that there is a point c (a, b) such
that f 00 (c) > 0.
Since x1 < x2 and f (x1 ) > f (x2 ), by the Mean Value Theorem there exists a point a (x1 , x2 )
f (x2 ) f (x1 )
such that f 0 (a) =

Section 4.4

1(b) Find all a R such that ax2 + 3x + 5 is strictly increasing on the interval (1, 2).
Let f (x) = ax2 + 3x + 5. Then f 0 (x) = 2ax + 3 is continuous. If f 0 (x) is negative at some
number, it is negative on some open interval, and then by the increasing/decreasing test, f (x)
is decreasing on that interval. Therefore if f (x) = ax2 + 3x + 5 is strictly increasing then
f 0 (x) 0 on (1, 2). So 2ax + 3 0 on (1, 2). Since f 0 (x) = 2ax + 3 is continuous, f 0 (2) 0.
3
So we have 4a + 3 0, so a .

3
Conversely, if a , then 2ax + 3 > 0 on (1, 2), and then f (x) is strictly increasing on
4
(1, 2).

Another solution (not using calculus): if a = 0, then f (x) = 3x + 5 is strictly increasing


everywhere.
If a 6= 0, then the graph of this function is a parabola. If a > 0 then the parabola opens
upward, and if a < 0 then the parabola opens downward. Recall that the vertex of the
b
3
parabola y = ax2 + bx + c has x-coordinate , so for our function it is . Now,
2a

f (x) = ax2 + 3x + 5 is strictly increasing on (1, 2) if either a > 0 and
1 (i.e. the vertex
2a

of the parabola is to the left of the interval), or a < 0 and
2 (i.e. the vertex of the
2a
parabola is to
the
right
of
the
interval).
Solving
these
