Consider the function below.
f(x) = 1 +

x3 |
Produce a graph of f that reveal all the important aspects of the curve. Estimate the intervals of increase and decrease and intervals of concavity, and use calculus to find these intervals.

Transcribed Image Text:Step 6
larger x-value X = −9+5√3
Step 7
Factoring this, we get f"(x):
when x² + 18x + 6 = 0, or when we have the following.
smaller x-value X = -9-5√3
-9-5√3
When x E -80,
so f(x) is concave down
+36x-4 + 12x
= 2x
When x E

f(x) is concave up

is never 0, then f"(x) = 0
√75,0), we have f"(x) is negative
