(a)

Thu function is .

Graph :

Graph the function :

Observe the garph.

The function has local maximum at is .

Local maximum is .

The function has no local minimum value.

Thu function is .

Differentiate on each side with respect to .

Find the critical points.

Thus, the critical points exist when .

Equate  to zero.

The critical point is at .

Substitute in .

Local maximum is . 

(b)

Thu function is .

Obsderve the graph.

The function most rapidly increases over the interval .

Now find .

.

Differentiate on each side with respect to .

.

Find the exact value where increases.

Now equate to zero and plug the value into .

The roots of the quadratic equation is .

and .

Substitute in .

Substitute in .

Therefore the function is increases at .

(a)

Local maximum is .

There is  no local minimum value.

(b)

The function is increases at .
