Answer

General shape: .

Work Step by Step

Step 2 $y'=x^{2}(2-x)=2x^{2}-x^{3}$ $y''=4x-3x^{2}=x(4x-3)$ Step 3 $y'=0$ when $ x=0,2\qquad$... critical points. Step 4 $\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc} y': & & ++ & | & ++ & | & -- & \\ & (-\infty & & 0 & & 2 & & \infty)\\ y: & & \nearrow & & \nearrow & \max & \searrow & \end{array}\right]$ Step 5 For concavity, $y''=0$ for $x=0, \displaystyle \frac{3}{4}$ $\left[\begin{array}{cccccccc} y': & & -- & | & ++ & | & -- & \\ & (-\infty & & 0 & & 3/4 & & \infty)\\ y: & & \cap & i.p. & \cup & i.p. & \cap & \end{array}\right]$
