The -intercept is
.
Find the extrema.
\The function is .
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
Apply product rule of derivatives: .
In this case and

To find the critical numbers by equating .
.
The critical point is .
.
The domain of is
.
Relative extrema points exist at critical numbers, Then intervals are and
.
Perform first derivative test to identify the nature of the extrema.
