Problem

A differentiable function gg satisfies the following: g′(x)>0g'(x)>0 for −4<x<−1-4<x<-1 and 2<x<42<x<4, while g′(x)<0g'(x)<0 for −1<x<2-1<x<2. The derivative equals 00 only at x=−1x=-1 and x=2x=2. Determine the xx-coordinates of all local extrema of gg and classify each as a maximum or minimum.
