NO TE: When using interval notation in WeBWork, remember that: You use 'INF' for oo and '-INF' for -0o. And use 'U' for the union symbol. Enter DNE if an answer does not exist. f(x) = -2 sin(x) cos(x) on (-7, 7) a) Find the critical numbers of f. -pi/4, pi/4 (Separate multiple answers by commas.) b) Determine the intervals on which f is increasing and decreasing. f is increasing on: (pi/4.pi) f is decreasing on: (-pi/4.pi/4) c) Use the First Derivative Test to determine whether each critical point is a relative maximum, minimum, or neither. Relative maxima occur at = -pl/4 (Separate multiple answers by commas.) Relative minima occur at x pi/4 (Separate multiple answers by commas.)

### 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.
