Q#5. Graph f(x) = 0.5x^3 - 2x + 2.5. Identify the x-intercepts and the points where the local maximums and local minimums occur. Determine the intervals for which the function is increasing or decreasing. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
The x-intercept is x = (blank).
The local maximum is (blank, blank).
The local minimum is (blank, blank).
The function is increasing when x < (blank) and x > (blank).
The function is increasing when (blank) < x < (blank).
