Given information
As per the given question ,
- The function attains its local maximum at
- The function is differentiable at
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The objective is to sketch the graph of a function that has a local maximum at and is differentiable at .
Assume the function
The function is differentiable and calculate the first derivative of the function and equate it to zero to calculate the critical points as,
The function has only one critical point at
Calculate the second derivative of the function at as follows:
Thus, the second derivative at the critical point of the function , is negative and hence local maximum occur at .
The graph of the function is as shown below:
