Question 1 : Given curve of y = (x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3)
  • 1. Find domain if curve is deceasing
  • 2. Find domain if curve is increasing
  • 3. Find domain if curve has extreme points
  • 4. Find domain if curve concave downward
  • 5. Find domain if curve concave upward
  • 6. Find domain if curve has point of inflection
Question 2 : Given curve of y = (x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3)
  • 1. Find domain if y' is negative
  • 2. Find domain if y' is positive
  • 3. Find domain if y' is zero
  • 4. Find domain if y" is negative
  • 5. Find domain if y" is positive
  • 6. Find domain if y" is zero
Question 3 : Quick sketch y = (x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3)
  • 1. y-intercept is -6
  • 2. Draw xy coordinates
  • 3. Put (0,-6), (1,0), (2,0), (3,0) on xy coordinates
  • 4. When x LT 1, y is negative
  • 5. Sketch curve from (0,-6) to (1,0)
  • 6. From (1,0) to (2,0), y is positive and concave downward
  • 7. From (2,0) to (3,0), y is negative and concave upward
  • 8. After (3,0) the curve is positive and concave upward
