- The graph of \( f(x) = x^3 - 18x^2 + 2x + 2 \) is concave upward on the interval \( (6, \infty) \). - The graph is concave downward on the interval \( (-\infty, 6) \). - The inflection point is at \( (6, -418) \).

Solución

1. Compute the first and second derivatives of \( f(x)=x^3-18x^2+2x+2 \). - The first derivative is \[ f'(x)=3x^2-36x+2. \] - The second derivative is \[ f''(x)=6x-36. \] 2. Determine the concavity by analyzing the sign of \( f''(x) \). - For concave upward, we need \( f''(x)>0 \): \[ 6x-36>0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 6x>36 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad x>6. \] Thus, the function is concave upward on \( (6,\infty) \). - For concave downward, we need \( f''(x)<0 \): \[ 6x-36<0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 6x<36 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad x<6. \] Thus, the function is concave downward on \( (-\infty,6) \). 3. Find the inflection point by solving \( f''(x)=0 \): \[ 6x-36=0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad x=6. \] Substitute \( x=6 \) into \( f(x) \) to find the \( y \)-coordinate: \[ f(6)=6^3-18(6)^2+2(6)+2. \] Calculate step by step: \[ 6^3=216,\quad (6)^2=36,\quad 18(36)=648,\quad 2(6)=12. \] Thus, \[ f(6)=216-648+12+2= (216-648) + 14= -432+14= -418. \] So, the inflection point is \( (6,-418) \). 4. Answer the given questions: - For what interval(s) of \( x \) is the graph of \( f \) concave upward? Correct choice: **A. \( (6, \infty) \)** - For what interval(s) of \( x \) is the graph of \( f \) concave downward? Correct choice: **A. \( (-\infty, 6) \)** - Determine the \( x, y \) coordinates of the inflection point of the graph of \( f \). Correct choice: **A. \( (6,-418) \)**

Beyond the Answer

To determine the concavity and inflection points of the function \( f(x) = x^3 - 18x^2 + 2x + 2 \), we first find the second derivative. The first derivative is \( f'(x) = 3x^2 - 36x + 2 \), and differentiating again gives us \( f''(x) = 6x - 36 \). Setting \( f''(x) = 0 \) leads to \( 6x - 36 = 0 \), which simplifies to \( x = 6 \). So, for the intervals: 1. The function is concave upward where \( f''(x) > 0 \), which occurs when \( x > 6 \). Thus, the correct choice is A. \( (6, \infty) \). 2. The function is concave downward where \( f''(x) < 0 \), which occurs when \( x < 6 \). Thus, the correct choice is A. \( (-\infty, 6) \). To find the inflection point, we evaluate the function at \( x = 6 \): \[ f(6) = 6^3 - 18 \cdot 6^2 + 2 \cdot 6 + 2 = 216 - 648 + 12 + 2 = -418. \] Therefore, the coordinates of the inflection point are \( (6, -418) \). The correct choice is A. \( (6, -418) \).
