Answer

$ a.\quad$ g is odd $ b.\quad$local maximum of $54$ at $x=-3$.

Work Step by Step

$a.$ $g(-x)=(-x)^{3}-27(-x)=-x^{3}+27x=-(x^{3}-27x)=-g(x)$ $g(-x)=-g(x)$, so the function is odd $b.$ Since the function is odd, the graph has origin symmetry. If $(3,-54)$ is a local minimum point, then the point symmetric to it, $(-3,54)$ is on the graph and is a local maximum point.
