Transcribed Image Text:A function and its graph are given.
f(x) = x3 + 2x2 - 12x – 20
y
60
40
20
-8
-6
-4
-2
-20
-40
(a) From the graph, estimate where f"(x) > 0. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
(-2,00)
Estimate where f"(x) < 0. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
(-о, — 2)
Estimate where f"(x) = 0. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
X =
-2
(b) Use (a) to decide where f'(x) has its relative maxima and relative minima. (Enter your answers as comma-separated lists. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
