Problem

Let f(x)=x3−3x2+2f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2}+2 for all real xx. (1) Calculate f′(x)f'(x). (2) Determine every critical point of ff on (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty). (3) For each critical point, classify it as a relative minimum or relative maximum. Provide clear reasoning based on the change in sign of f′(x)f'(x). (4) Arrange the relative extrema from lowest to highest ff-value.
