Exercise 4 Page 214

Let's first draw the graph of the function. Then we will use the graph to identify the increasing and decreasing intervals.

Graphing the Function

Consider the given function.

y = 0.5 x^{3} + x^{2} - x + 2

Let's draw the graph. If you need a step-by-step explanation on graphing a function using a table of values, please refer to the extra information at the bottom of this exercise.
