Problem

For a differentiable function ff, which of the following statements must be true? (a) If ff attains a local maximum at x=cx = c, then f′(c)=0f'(c)=0. (b) If f′(c)=0f'(c)=0, then ff has an inflection point at x=cx=c. (c) If f′(x)>0f'(x)>0 on an open interval, then f′′(x)>0f''(x)>0 on that interval. (d) If ff attains a local maximum at x=cx=c, then f′′(c)<0f''(c)<0.
