Find the relative extrema of each function, if they exist. List each extremum along with the $x$ -value at which it occurs. Then sketch a graph of the function. $$f(x)=5-x-x^{2}$$
Find the maximum and minimum values of the function y = 2√(x^2 + 1) - x on the interval [0, 5]. (Round your answers to three decimal places: maximum, minimum)
