Transcribed Image Text:### Exploring Derivatives and Intervals in Calculus
#### Function Analysis
Given the function \( f(x) = -2 \sin(x) \cos(x) \) on the interval \((-π, π)\).
---
#### Tasks and Solutions:
**a) Find the critical numbers of \( f \).**
- Critical numbers within the interval \(-π/4, π/4\).
- Enter multiple answers separated by commas.
**b) Determine the intervals on which \( f \) is increasing and decreasing.**
- \( f \) is increasing on: \((\pi/4, \pi)\)
- \( f \) is decreasing on: \((-π, -π/4)\)
**c) Use the First Derivative Test to determine whether each critical point is a relative maximum, minimum, or neither.**
- Relative maxima occur at \( x = -π/4 \).
- Relative minima occur at \( x = π/4 \).
#### Note on Using Interval Notation in WeBWorK:
- Use 'INF' for \( \infty \) and '-INF' for \(-\infty\).
- Use 'U' for the union symbol.
- Enter DNE if an answer does not exist.
---
This exploration reinforces the understanding of critical points, the First Derivative Test, and how functions behave over specified intervals.
