Consider the three analytic functions defined for all real xx. g(x)=6x−12g(x) = 6x - 12 h(x)=x3−6x2+9x+4h(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x + 4 k(x)=3x2−12x+9k(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 9 Exactly one of these functions is the graph of a differentiable function ff, one is the graph of f′f', and one is the graph of f′′f''. a. Part 1: Determine which given function is ff, which is f′f', and which is f′′f''. Show analytical work that supports your conclusion. b. Part 2: For the function you identified as ff, determine the interval(s) on which ff is increasing and the interval(s) on which ff is concave upward. c. Part 3: For the function you identified as ff, find the coordinates of every point of inflection and justify that each is indeed an inflection point.
