Answer the following questions about the functions whose derivatives are given:
\begin{equation}\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. What are the critical points of } f ?} \\ {\text { b. On what open intervals is } f \text { increasing or decreasing? }} \\ {\text { c. At what points, if any, does } f \text { assume local maximum and }} \\ \quad {\text { minimum values? }}\end{array}\end{equation}
\begin{equation}f^{\prime}(x)=1-\frac{4}{x^{2}}, \quad x \neq 0\end{equation}

Calculus 3

Number Theory question:
Here is a list of the first few primes for which 3 is a
quadratic residue and a nonresidue.
Quadratic Residue: p = 11, 13, 23, 37, 47, 59, 61, 71, 73, 83,
97, 107, 109
Nonresidue: p = 5, 7, 17, 19, 29, 31, 41, 43, 53, 67, 79, 89,
101, 103, 113, 127
Reduce these lists modulo 12, and make a conjecture explaining
which primes have 3 as a quadratic residue.
