&#12304;General guidance&#12305;The answer provided below has been developed in a clear step by step manner.Step1/5a) To find critical numbers, we will find a derivative and set it equal to zero:\begin{align*} \mathrm{{f}'{\left({x}\right)}} &= \mathrm{{0}} \end{align*}ExplanationCritical points are the points from where function start to change it's direction Explanation:Please refer to solution in this step.Step2/5b) A function is increasing when:\begin{align*} \mathrm{{f}'{\left({x}\right)}} &> \mathrm{{0}} \end{align*}A function is decreasing when:\( \begin{align*} \mathrm{{f}'{\left({x}\right)}} &Explanation:Please refer to solution in this step.Step3/5c) To classify, first we will find the second derivative.A critical point is local maximum when:\( \begin{ali ...
