Find the interval(s) of decrease (Select all that apply.)

(-, -1)(-, 0)(-1, 0)(0, 1)(-1, 1)(1, )(0, )(-, )none of these


(b) Find the local maximum value(s). (Select all that apply.)

--11425none of these


Find the local minimum value(s). (Select all that apply.)

--11425none of these


(c) On what interval(s) is f concave upward? (Select all that apply.)

(-, 0)(0, 2)(0, 1)(-1, 1)(1, )(0, )(-, )none of these


On what interval(s) is f concave downward? (Select all that apply.)

(-, -1)(-, 0)(-1, 0)(-2, 1)(-1, 1)(0, )(-, )none of these


What are the inflection point(s) of f ? (Select all that apply.)

(-1, 0)(0, 3)(1, 4)(2, 0)none of these

Explanation / Answer

f(x) = 3 + 3x - x^3

f'(x)=3-3x^2 ,f"(x)=-6x

(a) Find the interval(s) of increase. f'(x)=3-3x^2>0 ==>(1-x^2)>0==>(1-x)*(1+x)>0==>(x-1)*(x+1)<0

x= (-1, 1)


Find the interval(s) of decrease f'(x)=3-3x^2<0 ==>(1-x^2)<0==>(1-x)*(1+x)<0==>(x-1)*(x+1)>0

x= (-, -1)u(1, )


(b) Find the local maximum value(s). (Select all that apply.)

f(1)=3+3-1 =5


Find the local minimum value(s). (Select all that apply.)

f(-1)=3-3+1 =1


(c) On what interval(s) is f concave upward? (Select all that apply.)

f"(x)>0==>-6x>0 ==>6x<0

(-, 0)


On what interval(s) is f concave downward? (Select all that apply.)

f"(x)<0 ==>-6x<0==>6x>0

(0, )


What are the inflection point(s) of f ? (Select all that apply.)

f"(x)=0

==>-6x=0

x=0

(x,f(x))=(0,f(0)) =(0,3)
