For a function ff defined and continuous on (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty), the derivative f′(x)f'(x) satisfies the following. • f′(x)<0f'(x)<0 for x<−3x<-3 • f′(x)>0f'(x)>0 for −3<x<0-3<x<0 • f′(x)<0f'(x)<0 for 0<x<50<x<5 • f′(x)>0f'(x)>0 for x>5x>5 • f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 at x=−3x=-3 and x=5x=5 • f′(x)f'(x) is undefined at x=0x=0 Which of the following describes the relative extrema of ff? a) Relative maximum at x=−3x=-3, relative minimum at x=0x=0, and relative maximum at x=5x=5. b) Relative minimum at x=−3x=-3, relative maximum at x=0x=0, and relative minimum at x=5x=5. c) Relative minimum at x=−3x=-3, relative minimum at x=0x=0, and relative maximum at x=5x=5. d) Relative minimum at x=−3x=-3, no relative extremum at x=0x=0, and relative minimum at x=5x=5.
