Math Problem Statement
Consider the function f(x) = 7 (x - 2)^{2/3}. For this function there are two important intervals: (-\infty, A) and (A,\infty) where A is a critical number. Find A
For each of the following intervals, tell whether f(x) is increasing (type in INC) or decreasing (type in DEC). (-\infty, A):
(A,\infty):
