Consider the function \( f(x) = -2x^3 + 36x^2 - 162x + 3 \). For this function there are three important open intervals: \(( -\infty, A )\), \(( A, B )\), and \(( B, \infty )\) where \( A \) and \( B \) are the critical numbers.

Find \( A \)  
and \( B \)  

For each of the following open intervals, determine whether \( f(x) \) is increasing or decreasing.

\(( -\infty, A )\): [Select an answer]  
\(( A, B )\): [Select an answer]  
\(( B, \infty )\): [Select an answer]  

Using the First Derivative Test, we can conclude:

At \( x = A \), \( f(x) \) has a [Select an answer]  
At \( x = B \), \( f(x) \) has a [Select an answer]  

Options for selection:
- local maximum
- local minimum
- neither a max nor a min

Expert Solution
Step 1

The critical numbers of the function: f(x) is calculated by solving the equation: f'(x)=0 for x.

For any function: f(x), the sign of its first derivative: f'(x) changes from negative to positive at the local minimum. For any function: f(x), the sign of its first derivative: f'(x) changes from positive to negative at the local maximum.
