Let $f(x)$ be a real-valued function all of whose derivatives exist. Recall that a point $x_0$ in the domain is called an inflection point of $f(x)$ if the second derivative $f^”(x) $ changes sign at $x_0$. Given the function $f(x)=\frac{x^5 }{20}-\frac{x^4 }{2}+ 3x+1$, which of the following statements are true?

  1. $x_0 =0$ is not an inflection point
  2. $x_0 =6$ is the only inflection point
  3. $x_0 =0$ and $x_0 =6$, both are inflection points
  4. The function does not have an inflection point

For the function $f(x)=\text{ln}(x)/x$, show that the maximum value of $f(x)$ occurs when $x=e$. Use this to show that $x^e<e^x$ for all positive values of $x$.
