Answer

See explanation.

Work Step by Step

$f^{\prime}(x)<0$ the $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ on the left and on right of $x=-\sqrt{7},$ so $x=-\sqrt{7}$ is $a$ relative maximum. $\pm \sqrt{7}=x$ Using the first derivative test $f^{\prime}(x)<0$ on the left and $f^{\prime}(x)>0 $ on the right of $x=\sqrt{7}, $ so $x=\sqrt{7}$ is a relative minimum
