Part (c)
The function decreases for negative x’s and increases for positive x’s, therefore, the
derivative is negative for negative x’s and its derivative is positive for positive x’s.
Hence, result is I.

Part (d)
The function possesses three local extrema, hence the derivative has three zeros, so
answer is III.
