**Problem 3**  
Consider the function \( f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 7 \) (the same function as in problem 2).

**a)** Find the intervals where the graph of \( f(x) \) is concave up, and where it is concave down.

**b)** Find any inflection points.

(Note: Since this is a transcription from an educational text, ensure you understand the concepts of concavity and inflection points when applying them to functions.)
