Math Problem Statement
Identify local extrema and intervals on which the function is decreasing and increasing. . . . Question content area top right Part 1
A coordinate system has a horizontal axis labeled from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2 and a vertical axis labeled from negative 50 to 50 in increments of 10. A graph consists of two curves. The first curve rises at a decreasing rate to a maximum plotted 2 units to the left of and 1 unit below the origin, and then falls at an increasing rate to a plotted point 1 unit to the right of and 10 units below the origin. The second curve falls at decreasing rate to a minimum plotted 4 units to the right of and 21 units below the origin, and then rises at an increasing rate.
