### Problem 2: Function Analysis

Consider the function \( f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 7 \).

#### Tasks:
a) **Determine Intervals of Increase and Decrease:**
   - Identify the intervals where the graph of \( f(x) \) is increasing.
   - Identify the intervals where the graph of \( f(x) \) is decreasing.

b) **Find Relative Extrema:**
   - Locate any relative extrema of the function \( f(x) \).

This problem involves analyzing the behavior of a cubic function to understand its increasing and decreasing nature as well as identifying any peaks or valleys (relative extrema) on the graph.
