Consider f(x) = -x4 + 8x2 + 9.
(a) (1 point) Use the rational root test and synthetic division (or that the equation is
in quadratic form) to locate all the x-intercepts of f(x). (Note that (-x2 - a2) =
-(x2 + a2) has no real roots.)
(b)(2 points) Use the rst derivative test to determine the x coordinate of all possible
relative extrema.
