- D.
Show answer and solution
Answer: A, C, D
, positive on and negative on , so increases up to and decreases afterwards; the maximum is . (A) true. (B) Since , , i.e. , so and ; the claim is false. (C) For , . Since is strictly increasing on from to and strictly decreasing on , the value is taken exactly once on each side: at and at some . For , , so no roots there. Exactly two: true.
