a) DNE

b) Decreasing (-2,2) and Increasing(-∞, -2) and (2, ∞)

c) Concave up from (2, ∞) and downward from (-∞, 2).

d) See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function x³ - 12x + 8 is a cubic function. Cubic functions do not have asymptotic behavior. There are no vertical or horizontal asymptotes. According to its graph attached below, the function starts by increasing from negative infinity to a peak at -2. At the peak it changes to decreasing from -2 to 2. At this valley it increases from 2 to infinity. This is written as (-∞, -2), (-2,2) and (2, ∞). It is concave up from (2, ∞) and downward from (-∞, 2).

a) DNE

b) Decreasing (-2,2) and Increasing(-∞, -2) and (2, ∞)

c) Concave up from (2, ∞) and downward from (-∞, 2).

d) See attached picture.
