Let f(x)=x4−4x3+4x2+1f(x)=x^{4}-4x^{3}+4x^{2}+1. a. (i) Solve f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 and list all stationary points. b. (ii) Using the second derivative, decide whether each stationary point is a local maximum or a local minimum. c. (iii) Arrange the stationary points in ascending order of their corresponding function values, clearly marking each as a maximum or a minimum.
