11 Solution: Sketch the curve y = r(x - 2f We'll begin by finding the first derivative, and then we'll determine where it's zero and where it's positive and negative. By the product rule, we have: y' = x 2 2(x - 2) + (x - 2)2 • 2x = 2x(x - 2)[x + (x - 2)] = 4x(x - 1)(x - 2) • Setting this equal to zero, we see that critical points occur at x = 0, 1, and 2. For x < 0, the sign of y' is negative, so the curve is decreasing; for 0 < x < 1, the sign of y' is positive, so the curve is increasing; for 1 < x < 2, the sign of y' is negative, so the curve is decreasing; and for x > 2, the sign of y' is positive, so the curve is increasing.
