Problem

Consider the polynomial function gg defined by g(x)=x4−4x3+6x2+1g(x) = x^4 - 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 1. (a) Determine g′′(x)g''(x). (b) Solve g′′(x)=0g''(x) = 0 and use the result to locate all possible inflection points. (c) State the intervals on which the graph of gg is concave up and those on which it is concave down. Then give the exact coordinates of every inflection point.
