Since the function has a Max, Min, Max it is at least a (-1) 4th power, or a ( 1) 4th + 2k , k 0 power function. The derivative will be a respective

( 1) 3rd + 2k , k 0 power function with x intercepts at the max-min-max points, ( 2,0) , ( 1,0 ) , ( 6,0) . These intercepts indicate the turning points of the 4th power function. A tentative equation for the derivative would be f ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) ( x 1) ( x 6 ) , which expands to
f ( x ) = x 3 + 5x 2 + 8 x 12 Reverse calculating the derivative up to a 4th power gives: 1 5 f ( x ) = x 4 + x 3 + 4 x 2 12 x Domain and range in this case { x |, x ) , { y | y 108, y 4 3 This function satisfies the local min-max requirements. It increases 2 > x, and 1 < x < 6 It decreases 2 < x < 1, and x > 6 2 Concavity is indicated by the f ( x ) derivative 3x 2 + 10 x + 8 zeroes at 3 and 4 , 2 Concave down at > x > 4 3 2 Concave up at < x < 4 3 2 2 Inflection points are 3 , f 3 and 4, f ( 4 )
