See graphs

Work Step by Step

a) Because $f'(x) \gt 0$ and $f''(x) \lt 0$ for all $x$, the function must be always increasing (since the first derivative is always positive) and concave downward (since the second derivative is always negative) b) Because $f'(x) \lt 0$ and $f''(x) \gt 0$ for all $x$ the function must be always decreasing (since the first derivative is always negative) and concave upward (since the second derivative is always positive)
