Solution
It looks like you've uploaded a set of questions involving functions. Let's break down the first question step by step:
Q1:
Given the curve , we are asked to find the values of , , and based on the following conditions:
- The curve is concave up when and concave down when .
- The curve is tangent to the line at the point .
Steps to Solve:
-
Concavity Conditions:
- The concavity of the function is determined by the second derivative, .
- For concave up at , for .
- For concave down at , for .
- We will compute and analyze it.
-
Tangent Line Condition:
- The line equation is , which simplifies to .
- The point of tangency is , meaning that the function value at should be 1, and the slope of the tangent line (which is ) should match the slope of the curve at that point.
Step-by-Step Approach:
-
Find the first and second derivatives of :
-
Use the conditions to form equations:
- From the concavity condition, we know should change sign at .
- The function value at should satisfy .
- The slope at should be equal to the slope of the line, so .
Now, let's calculate these values and find the values of , , and .
I'll proceed to solve for these values step-by-step. Would you like me to continue with the calculations?
