Answer

See explanation.

Work Step by Step

(a) $g^{\prime}(x)=-24 x^{2}+12 x^{3}$, $f^{\prime}(x)=5 x^{4}$ So $g^{\prime}(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=0$ Points where the first derivative is zero are stationary points. (b) Nothing can be concluded because the second derivatives of $f$ and $g$ are also zero at the stationary point $0=x$ Apply first derivative test. (c) $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ if $x<0$ and $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ if $x>0,$ so $1=x$ isn't a relative extremum. $g^{\prime}(x)<0$ if $x<0$ and $g^{\prime}(x)<0$ if $x>0,$ so $0=x$ isn't a relative extremum.
