A. local maximum at (-1, 5)
local minimum at (1, 1)
increasing on (-2, -1) and (1, 2)
decreasing on (-1, 1)
B. local maximum at (1, 1)
local minimum at (-1, 5)
increasing on (-2, -1)
decreasing on (-1, 1)
C. local maximum at (1, 1)
local minimum at (-1, 5)
increasing on (-2, -1) and (1, 2)
decreasing on (-1, 1)
D. local maximum at (-1, 5)
local minimum at (1, 1)
increasing on (-1, 1)
decreasing on (-2, -1) and (1, 2)
