Question: Use the given function and its derivatives to answer the questions. Then sketch the graph. f ( x ) = x 3 6 x 2

Use the given function and its derivatives to answer the questions. Then sketch the graph.
f(x)= x36x296x +58
f'(x)=3(x 8)(x +4)
f''(x)=6(x 2)
(a) State the domain of
f(x).
(Enter your answer using interval notation.)
(b) State the y-intercept of
f(x).
(If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(x, y)=
(c) State the open interval(s) where
f(x)
is increasing. (Enter your answer using interval notation. Enter EMPTY or for the empty set.)
(d) State the open interval(s) where
f(x)
is decreasing. (Enter your answer using interval notation. Enter EMPTY or for the empty set.)
(e) State any points where
f(x)
has a local maximum. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(x, y)=
(f) State any points where
f(x)
has a local minimum. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(x, y)=
(g) State the open interval(s) where
f(x)
is concave up.(Enter your answer using interval notation. Enter EMPTY or for the empty set.)
(h) State the open interval(s) where
f(x)
is concave down. (Enter your answer using interval notation. Enter EMPTY or for the empty set.)
(i) State any inflection points of
f(x).
(If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(x, y)=
(j) State any vertical asymptotes of
f(x).
(Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of equations. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
