Point A is   ?    a relative maximum    a relative minimum    a saddle point    not a critical point    Point B is   ?    a relative maximum    a relative minimum    a saddle point    not a critical point    Point C is   ?    a relative maximum    a relative minimum    a saddle point    not a critical point    Point D is   ?    a relative maximum    a relative minimum    a saddle point    not a critical point    Point E is   ?    a relative maximum    a relative minimum    a saddle point    not a critical point   

Explanation / Answer

Point A is       a relative maximum     Point B is       not a critical point    Point C is       a relative minimum     Point D is       a relative maximum       Point E is       a saddle point
