question 82

Multiple Choice

Find the critical point(s) of the function. Then use the second derivative test to classify the nature of each point, if possible. Finally, determine the relative extrema of the function.

• B) (- 3, 4); relative maximum value: f(- 3, 4) = - 9
• C) (3, - 4); relative minimum value: f(3, - 4) = - 66
