  1. 1.
    f' = -pi sin(pi*x) extrema where f' = 0, or x an integer

    2.
    since f(x) = (x+4)(x+2) f(-4)=f(-2)=0, so we're good to do. vertex is at x = -3.

    3.
    f is concave up if f'' > 0
    f'' = -7cosx, so where is that >0? <0?

    4.
    concavity as above, inflection where f'' = 0
    f'' = -sinx + cosx = √2 sin(x + π/4)

    5.
    same methods as in #3,4/
    f'' = -6x
