(a) (2 points) use the Monotonicity Theorem to find where f(x) is increasing and where it is
decreasing.
if f'x)>0for all x on the interval, then Fis increasing on that interval.
if f'(x)<0 for all x on the interval, then
is decreasing on that interval
f'6x)= x'-x²- 6x » f(x) = x(x -3)(x+2)

(b) (2 points) use the Concavity Theorem to determine where f(x) is concave up and where
it is concave down/Also find all inflection points.
if f"x) >0 For all x in an open interval, then it is concave up on that interval.
if f"CX)<O For all x in an open interval, then it is concave down on that interval.
f"(x) = 3x²-2x-6
