To find the inflection points of the function \( f(x) = 4x^{\frac{5}{3}} + 5 \), we first need to find the second derivative. 1. Find the first derivative \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(4x^{\frac{5}{3}}) = \frac{20}{3}x^{\frac{2}{3}} \] 2. Find the second derivative \( f''(x) \): \[ f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{20}{3}x^{\frac{2}{3}}\right) = \frac{20}{9}x^{-\frac{1}{3}} \] 3. Set the second derivative equal to zero to identify potential inflection points: \[ \frac{20}{9}x^{-\frac{1}{3}} = 0 \] Since the term \( x^{-\frac{1}{3}} \) can never equal zero, we check where it's undefined. The expression is undefined at \( x = 0 \). Now check the sign changes around \( x = 0 \): - For \( x < 0 \): \( f''(x) > 0 \) - For \( x > 0 \): \( f''(x) < 0 \) This indicates that there is a change in concavity around \( x = 0 \). So, the inflection point is at \( (0, f(0)) \): \[ f(0) = 4(0)^{\frac{5}{3}} + 5 = 5 \] Thus, the inflection point is \( (0, 5) \). A. The inflection point(s) is/are (0, 5)
