Consider the quartic polynomial f(x)=\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}= x42+2x3+9x2\displaystyle -\frac{{x}^{{4}}}{{2}}+{2}{x}^{{3}}+{9}{x}^{{2}}.
f(x)\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} has two inflection points at x=C\displaystyle {x}={C} and x=D\displaystyle {x}={D} with CD\displaystyle {C}\leq{D}
where C=\displaystyle {C}=
and D=\displaystyle {D}=

For each of the following intervals, determine whether f(x)\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} is concave up or concave down.
(,C)\displaystyle {\left(-\infty,{C}\right)}:
(C,D)\displaystyle {\left({C},{D}\right)}:
(D,)\displaystyle {\left({D},\infty\right)}:


The graph of f(x)\displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} shown below will help you determine whether your answers are reasonable, but you need to use Calculus to determine the exact answers.
