First Derivative Test For Relative Extrema
Using the first derivative test, which of the following statements correctly identifies the relative extrema of the function ?
A
Since , the function has a relative maximum at (where the derivative changes from positive to negative) and a relative minimum at (where it changes from negative to positive).
B
The function has a relative maximum at and a relative minimum at because the derivative is zero at both points.
C
Relative extrema cannot be determined using the first derivative test because the derivative does not change sign at the critical points.
D
The function possesses no relative extrema since the first derivative test applies only to functions with quadratic behavior.
