1. find all of the critical points and local maximums and minimums of each function

Solution:

To find critical points, put f'(x) = 0

4x-12 = 0
4x = 12
x = 3

Critical point is x = 3

Find f''(x)

Since f''(3) > 0 so function has local minimum at x = 3

Local minimum is at (3, -11).

2. Find all critical points and local extremes of each function on the given intervals.

on the entire real number line.

Solution:

To find critical points, put f'(x) ...
