the function f, defined for x is an element of R, x>0, is such that

F'(x)=x^2 - 2 + 1/x^2

a) Find the value of f''(x) at x=4

b) Given that f(3) = 0, find f(x)

c) Prove that f is an increasing function

my problem is part c i can do the first two, this is from Mixed exercise 9D Q3 in the c2 text book

That is the factorized version of f(x).

y'=2-(16/x^3)
the minimum point is-->
2-(16/x^3)=0
8=x^3
x=2
we can show it is minimum by finding the second derivate-->
y''=48/x^2
f''(2)=12
therefore since the second derivate is positive it is a minima
therefore x>2

Find the stationary point at which \frac{d^2A}{d x^2}=-ve

This is the maximum point. Now simply equate the x value found into the equation.
