The derivative of a function gg is given by g′(x)=(x−2)(x+1)2g'(x)=(x-2)(x+1)^{2}. Which of the following correctly classifies the critical points of gg? a) gg has a local maximum at x=2x=2 and no extremum at x=−1x=-1. b) gg has a local minimum at x=2x=2 and a local maximum at x=−1x=-1. c) gg has a local minimum at x=2x=2 and no extremum at x=−1x=-1. d) gg has no extremum at x=2x=2 and a local minimum at x=−1x=-1.
