Here is a function. Find the regions of increase, decrease, concave up, and concave down. Find and classify all extrema (minimum and maximum values). f(x) = 6 + 14.2x - 0.32x^2 Domain: [0, ∞)
Added by Rebecca M.
Step 1
First, we need to find the first derivative of the function to determine the increasing and decreasing intervals. f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(6 + 14.2x - 0.32x^2) = 14.2 - 0.64x Show more…

Let the graph below represent f'(x). For which values of x is f(x) increasing? a) Determine the intervals of the increase and decrease b) Determine x-coordinate of points of extrema c) Determine the intervals of the concave up and concave down
Ma. Theresa A.
Graph the function and locate intervals on which the function is increasing or decreasing; open intervals on which the function is concave up or concave down; and all inflection points. f(x) = x^6 Increasing on [0,4]; decreasing on [4,0) and (0,0); increasing on (0,4] and [0,inf); decreasing on (-inf,4]; concave up on (-inf,0) and (4,inf); concave down on (0,4); inflection points at x = 0 and x = 6.
Andrew N.
Use a graph to estimate the local extrema and inflection points of each function, and to estimate the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, concave up, and concave down. $$ n(x)=x^{4}-8 x^{3}+18 x^{2}-6 x+2 $$
