For each problem, find the: x and y intercepts, x-coordinates of the critical points, open intervals where
the function is increasing and decreasing, x-coordinates of the inflection points, open intervals where the
function is concave up and concave down, and relative minima and maxima. Using this information,
sketch the graph of the function.
