Please show step by step on paper please. Circle answers.

Consider the function.

\( f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2 \)

1. Find \( f'(x) \).

   \( f'(x) = \) [Box for input]

2. Find \( f''(x) \).

   \( f''(x) = \) [Box for input]

3. Find \( f''(-1) \) and \( f''(4) \).

   \( f''(-1) = \) [Box for input]

   \( f''(4) = \) [Box for input]

4. Determine whether the function \( f(x) \) is concave up or concave down at the indicated points.

   (a) \( x = -1 \)
   
   - [ ] concave up
   - [ ] concave down

   (b) \( x = 4 \)
   
   - [ ] concave up
   - [ ] concave down
