For a differentiable function ff defined on the interval (−5,5)(-5,5), the sign of f′(x)f'(x) is given by x<−2x<-2: f′(x)<0f'(x)<0 x=−2x=-2: f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 −2<x<1-2<x<1: f′(x)>0f'(x)>0 x=1x=1: f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 x>1x>1: f′(x)<0f'(x)<0 Which of the following statements about ff is most strongly supported by the information above? a) ff has a relative maximum at x=−2x=-2 and a relative minimum at x=1x=1.⁠ b) ff has relative minima at both x=−2x=-2 and x=1x=1.⁠ c) ff has a relative minimum at x=−2x=-2 and a relative maximum at x=1x=1.⁠ d) ff is concave up at both x=−2x=-2 and x=1x=1.⁠
