• B)relative minimum value \(y = 8\) at \(x = 1\) ; inflection point at x = 0
• C)relative minimum value \(y = 8\) at \(x = 1\) ; no inflection points
• D)relative minimum value \(y = \frac { 1 } { 8 }\) at \(x = 1\) ; no inflection points
• E)relative maximum value \(y = \frac { 1 } { 8 }\) at \(x = 1\) ; no inflection points
