(b). Find the largest open interval on which is increasing and decreasing.
Observe the graph:
\The function is positive on the interval
and the function
is negative on the interval
.
The largest open interval on which is increasing on
.
The largest open interval on which is decreasing on
.
(c). Identify any extrema of .
Since the function is changes from positive to negative at
, then
has relative maximum at
