Question

Refer to graph image and questions below

**Consider the graph of a function \( f \) shown below:**

The graph features a curve plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from -8 to 8, while the y-axis spans from -10 to 10. The curve starts steeply going up from an x-value less than -8, reaches a peak between -8 and -6, descends to a local minimum near the x-value -3, and then climbs again, becoming steeper as it approaches a high point beyond x = 8.

**Identify the sets on which the graph of \( f \) is concave up and concave down, and find any inflection points.**

Use intervals connected by \( \cup \) as needed, and enter "DNE" for objects that do not exist.

- The graph is concave up for these \( x \)-values: [Text Box]

- The graph is concave down for these \( x \)-values: [Text Box]

- Identify any inflection points of \( f \): [Text Box]
