Homework Statement
Is my work correct?
Relevant Equations
n/a
Text listing properties for sketching y = f(x): increasing for x < -2 and -2 < x < 4; decreasing for x > 4; f'(-2) = 0 and f'(4) = 0; concave down for x < -2 and 3 < x < 9; concave up for -2 < x < 3 and x > 9.

Hand-drawn graph on graph paper: a curve with x-axis labelled -2 and 4, rising from lower left through the origin, peaking near x = 4, then falling to the right with dashed horizontal arrows marking a line.

What do you think? Does your graph satisfy all five conditions?
I believe it does, yes.
 
I agree. In the future, instead of just asking whether the work is correct, see if you can verify it for yourself, or at least let us know that you've done that.

The graph looks to be concave up for x greater than approximately 7 .
