Answer

x=6,x=2,x=2,x=6

Steps

Step 1 :The relative extrema of a function occur where its derivative is either 0 or undefined, and the sign of the derivative changes from positive to negative (indicating a local maximum) or from negative to positive (indicating a local minimum).

Step 2 :From the graph of f, we can see that f changes from positive to negative at x=6 and x=2, and from negative to positive at x=2 and x=6.

Step 3 :Therefore, the function f has relative extrema at these points.

Step 4 :So, the values of x at which the function f has a relative extrema on the interval (9,9) are x=6, x=2, x=2, and x=6.

Step 5 :x=6,x=2,x=2,x=6
