Let

$\displaystyle f(x) = x^2\,e^{x}-5\,x\,e^{x}+7\,e^{x}-2 $

Then answer the following questions.

  1. Find the critical numbers of $f(x)$.

    $x = -3 $, $0$ $x = -2 $, $-1$ $x = 0 $, $3$ $x = 1 $, $2$

  2. Choose the correct table for I/D test.

    Interval $x < 1$ $1 < x < 2$ $2 < x $
    $f'(x)$ pos neg pos

    Interval $x < -3$ $-3 < x < 0$ $0 < x $
    $f'(x)$ pos neg pos

    Interval $x < -3$ $-3 < x < 0$ $0 < x $
    $f'(x)$ neg pos neg

    Interval $x < 1$ $1 < x < 2$ $2 < x $
    $f'(x)$ neg pos neg

  3. Choose the correct statement.

    $y = e^2-2$ is local maximum at $x = 2$ . $y = 5$ is local minimum at $x = 0 $ . $y = 3\,e-2$ is local maximum at $x = 1 $ . $y = 31\,e^ {- 3 }-2$ is local maximum at $x = -3 $ .

  4. Find $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to -\infty}f(x)$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x)$ for horizontal asymptotes.

    $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to -\infty}f(x) =$ −2 and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x) =$ $\displaystyle \infty $

    $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to -\infty}f(x) =$ $\displaystyle -\infty $ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x) =$ −2

    $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to -\infty}f(x) =$ −2 and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x) =$ $\displaystyle -\infty $

    $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to -\infty}f(x) =$ $\displaystyle \infty $ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x) =$ −2

  5. Sketch the graph of $y = f(x)$.
