Given the function g(x)=6x3+63x2+216x\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}}={6}{x}^{{3}}+{63}{x}^{{2}}+{216}{x}, find the first derivative, g(x)\displaystyle {g}'{\left({x}\right)}.
g(x)=\displaystyle {g}'{\left({x}\right)}=  

Notice that g(x)=0\displaystyle {g}'{\left({x}\right)}={0} when x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4}, that is, g(4)=0\displaystyle {g}'{\left(-{4}\right)}={0}.

Now, we want to know whether there is a local minimum or local maximum at x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4}, so we will use the second derivative test.
Find the second derivative, g"(x)\displaystyle {\left({x}\right)}.
g"(x)=\displaystyle {\left({x}\right)}=  

Evaluate g"(4)\displaystyle {\left(-{4}\right)}.
g"(4)=\displaystyle {\left(-{4}\right)}=

Based on the sign of this number, does this mean the graph of g(x)\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}} is concave up or concave down at x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4}?
[Answer either up or down -- watch your spelling!!]
At x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4} the graph of g(x)\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}} is concave

Based on the concavity of g(x)\displaystyle {g{{\left({x}\right)}}} at x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4}, does this mean that there is a local minimum or local maximum at x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4}?
[Answer either minimum or maximum -- watch your spelling!!]
At x=4\displaystyle {x}=-{4} there is a local
