Local maximum and local minimum values respectively of the function $f(x)=(x-1)(x+2)^2$ are

Local maximum and local minimum values respectively of the function $f(x)=(x-1)(x+2)^2$ are
  1. $-4,0$
  2. $0,-4$
  3. $-4,4$
  4. $4,-4$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=(x-1)(x+2)^2 \\ & f^{\prime}(x)=(x+2)^2+(x-1) 2(x+2)=(x+2)(x+2+2 x-2)=3 x(x+2) \\ & \stackrel{+}{+}-0_{-2}^{+} \\ & f_{\max }=f(-2)=0 \\ & f_{\min }=f(0)=-4\end{aligned}$
