Consider g(x)=ln⁡x−x24g(x)=\ln x-\dfrac{x^{2}}{4} for x>0x>0. Which of the following best describes the critical point of gg? a) It is a relative minimum because the graph is concave up at that point. b) It is a relative maximum because the graph is concave down at that point. c) It is a point of inflection where the concavity changes. d) There is no critical point because g′(x)≠0g'(x)\neq 0 for x>0x>0.
