(a)
\The function is
.
Find the critical numbers by applying derivative.
\
Apply derivative on each side with respect to
.
Equate the derivative to
.
For
.
Equate the derivative to
.
Critical numbers are
and
.
(b)
\Consider the test intervals to find the interval of increasing and decreasing.
\Test intervals are
,
and
.

The function
is increasing on the interval
.
The function
is decreasing on the interval
and
.
(c)
\Use first derivative test to identify all relative extrema.
\
changes from negative to positive at
. [From (b) ]
Therefore according to first derivative test , the function has minimum at
.
The function
has a relative minimum at
.
Find
.

So the function
has relative minimum at
.
changes from positive to negative at
. [From (b) ]
Therefore according to first derivative test , the function has maximum at
.
The function
has a relative maximum at
.
Find
.

So the function
has relative maximum at
.
