If $f(x)=\frac{1}{3 x^{4}+5},$ it can be shown that $f^{\prime}(x)=-\frac{12 x^{3}}{\left(3 x^{4}+5\right)^{2}}$ and $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{180 x^{2}\left(x^{2}+1\right)(x+1)(x-1)}{\left(3 x^{4}+5\right)^{3}} .$ Use these functions to complete the following steps. a. Find the critical points and possible inflection points of $f$ b. Find the intervals on which $f$ is increasing or decreasing. c. Determine the intervals on which $f$ is concave up or concave down. d. Identify the local extreme values and inflection points of $f$. e. State the $x$ - and $y$ -intercepts of the graph of $f$. f. Find the asymptotes of $f$. g. Use your work in parts (a) through (f) to sketch a graph of $f$.
