1. (a)  is increasing on (1 3) and (4 6).
(b)  is decreasing on (0 1) and (3 4).
(c)  is concave upward on (0 2).
(d)  is concave downward on (2 4) and (4 6).
(e) The point of inflection is (2 3).
2. (a)  is increasing on (0 1) and (3 7).
(b)  is decreasing on (1 3).
(c)  is concave upward on (2 4) and (5 7).
(d)  is concave downward on (0 2) and (4 5).
(e) The points of inflection are (2 2), (4 3), and (5 4).
3. (a) Use the Increasing/Decreasing (I/D) Test.
(b) Use the Concavity Test.
(c) At any value of  where the concavity changes, we have an inflection point at ( ()).
