Correct answer: B, C, D
- Analyze each piece of
We are given
We check the options one by one.
- Option A: is increasing on
For ,
Differentiate:
Notice
So for ,
Now will be increasing on only if for all . But at ,
Hence is not increasing on all of .
So, A is false.
- Option B: is not differentiable at
First check continuity and differentiability of at .
Left side ():
So,
Also,
Right side ():
So,
Also,
f(1)=\frac23-4+7-\frac83=rac{2-8+21-8}{3}=1.Thus is differentiable at and
Now check differentiability of at , i.e. compare second derivatives from both sides.
- For ,
So,
- For ,
So,
Since left and right derivatives of at are different, is not differentiable at .
So, B is true.
- Option C: is onto
We need to check whether range of is all of .
Consider the first piece for :
As , dominant term is , so
Also,
Since this branch is a polynomial, it is continuous on , so its range contains all values from very large negative numbers up to some values near . In particular, it gives all sufficiently negative real numbers.
Now examine the remaining pieces:
On :
Hence range here is
On :
At ,
At ,
At ,
So this piece gives values down to .
On :
At ,
Differentiate:
Thus for , , so this branch is increasing. Also,
Therefore this branch gives range
Combining, the last branch alone already gives all values from to . The first branch gives all values tending to and approaching near . Since it is continuous and , , it certainly covers all values below , including all negative values and values in through continuity on intervals where it crosses them. In particular, together with from later pieces, every real value is attained.
Hence, is onto.
So, C is true.
- Option D: has a local maximum at
Compute on both sides of :
- For ,
This is increasing, and as ,
Also for , we have .
- For ,
At ,
For close to ,
(since near , this is negative), so decreases to the right of . Hence for sufficiently close to , .
Therefore, in a neighborhood of ,
with strict inequality for close enough to . So has a local maximum at .
So, D is true.
- Final conclusion
- A: False
- B: True
- C: True
- D: True
Thus the correct options are
This matches the stored correct answer.
