(a)
\Thu function is .
Differentiate on each side with respect to
.
Find the critical points.
\Since is a polynomial it is continuous at all the point.
Thus, the critical points exist when .
Equate to zero.
The critical point is .

The function is increasing on the interval .
The function is decreasing on the interval .
\
(b)
\Find the local maximum and local minimum.
\The function has a local minimum at
, because
changes its sign from positive to negative.
Substitute in
.
Local minimum is .
\
(c)
\.
Differentiate on each side with respect to
.
Find the inflection points.
\Equate to zero.
The domain of is
.
There is no inflection point, since is not in the domian.
Consider the test intervals are .
