-diff((4*(1/4))*x^4 + (8/3)*x^3 - (4*(1/2))*x^2 - 8*x,x - 1 = 0,x + 2 = 0,x + 1 = 0,......
Find the critical points and the interval on which the given function is increasing or decreasing, and apply the First Derivative Test to each critical point. Let
f(x) = {4/4)x^4+(8/3}x^3+{-4/2}x^2 - 8 x

There are three critical points. If we call them c_1,c_2, and c_3, with c_1 c_1 =
c_2 =
and c_3 = .

-
diff((4*(1/4))*x^4 + (8/3)*x^3 - (4*(1/2))*x^2 - 8*x, x) = 4*x^3 + 8*x^2 - 4*x - 8

factor(4*x^3 + 8*x^2 - 4*x - 8 = 0)

(x - 1)*(x + 2)*(x + 1) = 0

x - 1 = 0, x1 = 1

x + 2 = 0, x2 = - 2

x + 1 = 0, x3 = - 1

f(x):=(4/4)*x^4 + (8/3)*x^3 + (-4/2)* x^2 - 8* x

f(1) = - 19/3

point(1; - 19/3) = Minimum

f(-2) = 8/3

point(- 2; 8/3) = Minimum

f(-1) = 13/3

point( - 1; 13/3) = Maximum

( - ∞; - 2) = decreasing

( - 2; - 1) = increasing

( - 1; 1) = decreasing

> 1 = increasing
