A function \(\mathrm{f}\) has derivative \(\mathrm{f}'(x)=-6x^2+6x+36\). The tangents to the graph of \(y=\mathrm{f}(x)\) are horizontal at \(x=a\) and \(x=b\), where \(a<b\).
The sign diagram below shows the sign of \(\mathrm{f}'(x)\) in each of the three intervals of the \(x\)-axis separated by \(a\) and \(b\).
The equation \(\mathrm{f}''(x)=0\) has the single solution \(x=c\).
The sign diagram below shows the sign of \(\mathrm{f}''(x)\) on each side of \(c\).
