15: Derivative is
Critical points: f = 0 not possible; f ′ is suspect at x = 1 (note that 2x2 − 2x + 1 is always positive).
There is no local maximum; local minimum f (1) = 0.
Remark: One-sided derivatives at the connecting point are
They are not equal, so there is no derivative at x = 1.
Now determine concavity using f ′′.
