Step 1 :Given the function \(g(x)=6 x^{3}+27 x^{2}-180 x\), find the first derivative, \(g^{\prime}(x)\).
Step 2 :By applying the power rule of differentiation, the first derivative of the function \(g(x)\) is \(g^{\prime}(x) = 18x^2 + 54x - 180\).
Step 3 :Setting the first derivative equal to zero and solving for \(x\), we find that \(x=-5\) is a critical point.
Step 4 :Find the second derivative, \(g^{\prime \prime}(x)\), by differentiating the first derivative. The second derivative of the function is \(g^{\prime \prime}(x) = 36x + 54\).
Step 5 :Evaluate the second derivative at \(x = -5\), which gives a value of \(g^{\prime \prime}(-5) = -126\).
Step 6 :Since the second derivative at \(x = -5\) is negative, the function is concave down at this point. Therefore, at \(x=-5\) the graph of \(g(x)\) is concave \(\boxed{down}\).
Step 7 :Because the function is concave down at \(x = -5\), there is a local maximum at this point. Therefore, at \(x=-5\) there is a local \(\boxed{maximum}\).
