Analyze the graph of the given function f as follows:(a) Determine the end behavior: find the power function that the graph of f resembles for large values of |x|.(b)  Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph.(c)  Determine whether the graph crosses or touches the x-axis at each x-intercept.(d)  Graph f using a graphing utility.(e)  Use the graph to determine the local maxima and local minima, if any exist. Round turning points to two decimal places.(f) Use the information obtained in (a) - (e) to draw a complete graph of f by hand. Label all intercepts and turning points.(g)  Find the domain of f. Use the graph to find the range of f.(h)  Use the graph to determine where f is increasing and where f is decreasing.f(x) = x2(x + 2)

Provide an appropriate response.The series of sketches below starts with an equilateral triangle having sides of length 1 (one). In the following steps, equilateral triangles are constructed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the preceding triangle. Develop a formula for the area of the nth new triangle. Use math induction to prove your answer.
