Let's solve the problem in the image step by step. We are tasked with determining the intervals of increase and decrease for each of the following functions. To do this, we need to:

1. Find the first derivative of each function.
2. Set the first derivative equal to zero to find the critical points.
3. Analyze the sign of the derivative in each interval to determine where the function is increasing or decreasing.

I'll start with part (a):

Part (a): $f(x) = -x^3 + 2x^2 + 2$

1. First derivative: $f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} (-x^3 + 2x^2 + 2) = -3x^2 + 4x$

2. Critical points: Set $f'(x) = 0$: $-3x^2 + 4x = 0$ Factor the equation: $x(-3x + 4) = 0$ So, the critical points are $x = 0$ and $x = \frac{4}{3}$.

3. Sign analysis: To determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing, we can check the sign of $f'(x)$ in the intervals formed by the critical points $x = 0$ and $x = \frac{4}{3}$.

   • For $x < 0$, choose $x = -1$: $f'(-1) = -3(-1)^2 + 4(-1) = -3 - 4 = -7 \quad (\text{negative, so decreasing})$
   • For $0 < x < \frac{4}{3}$, choose $x = 1$: $f'(1) = -3(1)^2 + 4(1) = -3 + 4 = 1 \quad (\text{positive, so increasing})$
   • For $x > \frac{4}{3}$, choose $x = 2$: $f'(2) = -3(2)^2 + 4(2) = -12 + 8 = -4 \quad (\text{negative, so decreasing})$

   Conclusion:

   • The function is decreasing on $(-\infty, 0)$ and $\left( \frac{4}{3}, \infty \right)$.
   • The function is increasing on $(0, \frac{4}{3})$.

Part (b): $f(x) = x^3 - 11x^2 + 39x - 47$

1. First derivative: $f'(x) = 3x^2 - 22x + 39$

2. Critical points: Set $f'(x) = 0$: $3x^2 - 22x + 39 = 0$ Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: $x = \frac{-(-22) \pm \sqrt{(-22)^2 - 4(3)(39)}}{2(3)} = \frac{22 \pm \sqrt{484 - 468}}{6} = \frac{22 \pm \sqrt{16}}{6} = \frac{22 \pm 4}{6}$ So, the critical points are: $x = \frac{22 + 4}{6} = \frac{26}{6} = \frac{13}{3}, \quad x = \frac{22 - 4}{6} = \frac{18}{6} = 3$

3. Sign analysis:

   • For $x < 3$, choose $x = 0$: $f'(0) = 3(0)^2 - 22(0) + 39 = 39 \quad (\text{positive, so increasing})$
   • For $3 < x < \frac{13}{3}$, choose $x = 4$: $f'(4) = 3(4)^2 - 22(4) + 39 = 48 - 88 + 39 = -1 \quad (\text{negative, so decreasing})$
   • For $x > \frac{13}{3}$, choose $x = 5$: $f'(5) = 3(5)^2 - 22(5) + 39 = 75 - 110 + 39 = 4 \quad (\text{positive, so increasing})$

   Conclusion:

   • The function is increasing on $(-\infty, 3)$ and $\left( \frac{13}{3}, \infty \right)$.
   • The function is decreasing on $(3, \frac{13}{3})$.

I'll stop here for now. Do you want me to continue with parts (c), (e), and (f), or do you have any questions about these two solutions?
