This document discusses increasing and decreasing functions, concavity of functions, and finding intervals where functions are increasing, decreasing, concave up, or concave down. It provides examples of finding the intervals for the functions f(x)=x-4x^2+3 and f(x)=x-5x^4+9x showing the steps to determine where the functions are increasing or decreasing and where they are concave up or concave down. It also discusses inflection points and provides an example of finding intervals of increase, decrease, concavity and the inflection point for the function f(x)=x^3-3x^2+1.
