The function h(x)=x3−3x2−9x+5h(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2}-9x+5 is defined on the closed interval [−2,4][-2,4]. a. (i) Find all stationary points of hh that lie in the interval [−2,4][-2,4]. b. (ii) Classify each stationary point found in part (i) as a local maximum or a local minimum. c. (iii) Determine the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of hh on [−2,4][-2,4], stating the points where they occur.
