Transcribed Image Text:**Transcript for Educational Website**
a) Intervals over which the function \( f \) is increasing and decreasing
b) Local maximum and minimum and where they occur
c) Domain of \( f \)
**Explanation:**
This text is structured as a series of topics for understanding and analyzing the behavior of a mathematical function, \( f \). It covers three key concepts:
1. **Intervals of Increase and Decrease:**
- Understand how to identify and describe where a function \( f \) is increasing or decreasing based on its derivative or graph.
2. **Local Extrema:**
- Learn how to find and classify local maxima and minima, including their locations. This involves the use of first and second derivative tests.
3. **Domain of a Function:**
- Explore the domain of \( f \), which includes all the possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
These topics are fundamental in calculus and provide insight into the function's behavior and characteristics.
