найти асимптоты и точки перегиба

Solution

We are analyzing the function:

f(x)=x36x23.f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x^3 - 6x^2}.

To find asymptotes and inflection points, we will proceed step-by-step:


1. Find the asymptotes:

Asymptotes can occur when:

  • The function approaches infinity (±\pm \infty) as x±x \to \pm \infty, or
  • The function becomes undefined at certain xx-values.

Here:

  • The cube root (x36x23\sqrt[3]{x^3 - 6x^2}) is defined for all real numbers, so there are no vertical asymptotes.
  • As xx \to \infty or xx \to -\infty, the leading term x3x^3 dominates. Therefore: f(x)x33=x.f(x) \sim \sqrt[3]{x^3} = x. Hence, there are no horizontal or oblique asymptotes either.

Conclusion: No asymptotes exist for this function.


2. Find the inflection points:

Inflection points occur where the second derivative changes sign. Let's compute the first and second derivatives:

(a) First derivative (f(x)f'(x)):

Using the chain rule: f(x)=13(x36x2)23(3x212x),f'(x) = \frac{1}{3} (x^3 - 6x^2)^{-\frac{2}{3}} \cdot (3x^2 - 12x), which simplifies to: [ f'(x) = \frac{x(3x - 12)}{\sqrt[3]{(x^3 - 6x^2)^2}} = \frac{3x(x - 4)}{\sqrt[3]{(x^3 - 6x^2)^2}}. ]

(b) Second derivative (f(x)f''(x)):

To compute f(x)f''(x), we apply the quotient and chain rules: f(x)=ddx(3x(x4)(x36x2)23).f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{3x(x - 4)}{\sqrt[3]{(x^3 - 6x^2)^2}} \right). After differentiation, the expression becomes more complex. We will solve for f(x)=0f''(x) = 0 numerically to determine inflection points.


Summary of tasks:

  1. Analyze the second derivative further to pinpoint inflection points.
  2. Explore the sign changes in f(x)f''(x).
