A) You need to solve the equation f'(x) = 0 to find critical values of the function such that:
`f'(x) = ((9x^2+3)')/(9x^2+3)`
`f'(x) = (18x)/(9x^2+3)`
You need to solve the equation f'(x) = 0, hence since `(9x^2+3)!=0` , then `18x = 0 =gt x = 0.`
Hence, the critical value of the function is x=0.
B) The function is increasing over `(0,oo).`
C) The function only increases over `(0,oo).`
D) You need to remember that the x coordinate of local maximum is the critical value of function, hence x = 0.
E) Since the function has no minimum, then there is no x coordinate for local minimum.
F) Since the function increases over`(0,oo),` hence the function is concave up over `(0,oo).`
G) Since the function only increases over `(0,oo)` ,hence the function is not concave down over any interval.
