Step 1
Hi! You have posted multiple sub-parts. As per norms, we will be solving only three sub-parts. We will be solving the last three sub-parts as it can be seen that the answers are looking green from (a) to (g). If you need the answer to other sub-parts then kindly re-submit the question by specifying the required sub-part.
We are given the function, f(x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 36x + 54.
Step 2
For (h),
Here, f'(x) = 6x2 - 6x - 36.
and f''(x) = 12x - 6.
Concave up:
f''(x) > 0
=> 12x - 6 > 0
=> x >1/2
=> x ∈ (1/2, ∞)
