The function is and intervals are
.
Find the extrema :
\The function is .
Differentiate on each side with respect to .
.
.
To find the critical numbers, equate to
.
.
.
The critical number is .
Find the points of inflection.
\The first derivative of is
.
Differentiate on each side with respect to .
.
Apply .
The second derivative of is
.
Equate to
.
.
The inflection points occurs at .
Substitute in the function.
.
The inflection points occurs at and
.
Relative extrema points exist at critical numbers, Then intervals are and
.
Perform first derivative test to identify the nature of the extrema.
