Let h(x)=tan⁡x−2xh(x)=\tan x - 2x for 0<x<π20<x<\dfrac{\pi}{2}. At x=π4x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}, which of the following best describes the behavior of hh? (a) Relative maximum because h′′ ⁣(π4)<0h''\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)<0 (b) Relative minimum because h′′ ⁣(π4)>0h''\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)>0 (c) Point of inflection because h′′ ⁣(π4)=0h''\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)=0 (d) Neither a maximum nor a minimum because h′ ⁣(π4)≠0h'\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)\neq 0
