first derivative




Know the basic shape of cubic polynomial or function!
Maximum at x=0 and minimum and x=1.
You can figure the intervals of the function increasing.

Second derivative




-----------this is where you find the inflection point, and again, understanding the shape of cubic functions, the interval on which f is concave downward is (-infinity, 1/2 ).
