1. Determine the intervals where the function below is decreasing: f(x) = 2x3 = 9x2 + 12x + 54.
2. Find the x-coodinate of the local maximum of f(x) = x3 - 2.3x2 - 2.8x
3. Find the x-coodinate of the local maximum of f(x) = x3 - 2.1x2 -1.7x
4. Find the absolute minimum value of the following function on the interval [0,2]. f(x) = x2 - 4.6x + 1.
