Which of the following functions cannot use the Second Derivative Test to determine if x = 4 is the location of a relative minimum or relative maximum? y equals one-third times x cubed minus 4 times x squared plus 16 times x y equals x times e to the power of negative x over 4 y = -cos(x - 4) y = -x^2 + 8x

Find the relative extrema using both first and second derivative tests. f(x) = x2 / x4+16
Uma K.
Find all points $(x, y)$ where $f(x, y)$ has a possible relative maximum or minimum. Then, use the second-derivative test to determine, if possible, the nature of $f(x, y)$ at each of these points. If the second-derivative test is inconclusive, so state. $$f(x, y)=x^{2}-2 x y+3 y^{2}+4 x-16 y+22$$

Derivative Test Locate the critical points of the following functions and use the Second Derivative Test to determine whether they correspond to local maxima, local minima, or neither. $$f(x)=\frac{x^{4}}{4}-\frac{5 x^{3}}{3}-4 x^{2}+48 x$$
