The function gg is defined by g(x)={(x−1)3,x<1,4−(x−1)2,1≤x<3,ln⁡(x−2)+2,x≥3.g(x)= \begin{cases} (x-1)^{3}, & x<1,\\ 4-(x-1)^{2}, & 1\le x<3,\\ \ln(x-2)+2, & x\ge 3. \end{cases} Which statement best describes the relative (local) extrema of gg? a) gg has a relative maximum at x=1x=1 and a relative minimum at x=3x=3. b) gg has neither a relative maximum nor a relative minimum at x=1x=1 or x=3x=3. c) gg has a relative maximum at x=1x=1 only. d) gg has a relative minimum at x=1x=1 and a relative maximum at x=3x=3.
