Problem

Find the open intervals where f(z)=z3+6z2+z+1 is increasing and Where it is decreasing.
Enter your answer in interval notation. For example, if the function is increasing when 10<z<2 as well as when 4<z<7, then you would enter (10,2)(4,7).
f(z)=z3+6z2+z+1

Answer

Determine increasing/decreasing intervals: (,2333)(2+333,) for increasing, (2333,2+333) for decreasing

Steps

Step 1 :Find the first derivative: f(z)=3z2+12z+1

Step 2 :Find the critical points: z=2333,2+333

Step 3 :Analyze the intervals: (,2333), (2333,2+333), (2+333,)

Step 4 :Determine increasing/decreasing intervals: (,2333)(2+333,) for increasing, (2333,2+333) for decreasing
