Problem

Suppose ff is differentiable for all real numbers and satisfies f′(2)=0f'(2)=0 and f′′(2)=0f''(2)=0. A sign chart for f′f' shows f′(x)<0f'(x)<0 when x<2x<2 and f′(x)>0f'(x)>0 when x>2x>2. Which of the following best describes the point x=2x=2? a) x=2x=2 is a point of inflection of ff. b) x=2x=2 is a local maximum of ff. c) x=2x=2 is a local minimum of ff. d) No conclusion about extrema can be drawn from the given information.
