i) Find the interval(s) where f(x) is increasing or decreasing. Hence,
determine the extremum point(s).
ii) Find the interval(s) where f(x) is concave up or down. Hence, determine
the inflection point(s).
(b) Figure 1 shows that ABCD is a rectangle in which the side AB is greater than
the side BC. The side AB and BC vary in length in such a way that perimeter
of the rectangle ABCD is always 16 cm. Points P and Q are on AB and CD
respectively so that PBCQ is square.
