Problem

A function gg is twice differentiable and satisfies g′(x)>0g'(x)>0 for x<2x<2, g′(2)=0g'(2)=0, and g′(x)>0g'(x)>0 for x>2x>2. In addition, g′′(2)=0g''(2)=0 and g′′g'' changes sign at x=2x=2. Which statement best describes the behavior of gg at x=2x=2? a) gg has a local maximum at x=2x=2 because g′(2)=0g'(2)=0 and g′′g'' changes sign. b) gg has neither a local maximum nor a local minimum but does have a point of inflection at x=2x=2.},{ c) gg has a local minimum at x=2x=2 because g′′g'' changes sign from negative to positive. d) No conclusion can be drawn since g′′(2)=0g''(2)=0 provides insufficient information.
