Problem

Let hh be a differentiable function whose derivative is given by h′(x)=(x−1)2(x+2)h'(x)=(x-1)^2(x+2). (a) State the interval(s) on which hh is increasing and the interval(s) on which hh is decreasing. (b) Identify the xx-coordinate(s) of any relative extrema of hh and specify whether each is a relative maximum or minimum.
