Step 1 :Find the derivative of the function: \(f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x - 9\)
Step 2 :Set the derivative equal to zero: \(3x^2 - 6x - 9 = 0\)
Step 3 :Simplify the equation: \(x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0\)
Step 4 :Factor the equation: \((x - 3)(x + 1) = 0\)
Step 5 :Solve for x to find the critical points: \(x = 3\) and \(x = -1\)
Step 6 :Find the second derivative of the function: \(f''(x) = 6x - 6\)
Step 7 :Evaluate the second derivative at \(x = 3\): \(f''(3) = 12\)
Step 8 :Since the second derivative at \(x = 3\) is positive, \(x = 3\) is a relative minimum
Step 9 :Evaluate the second derivative at \(x = -1\): \(f''(-1) = -12\)
Step 10 :Since the second derivative at \(x = -1\) is negative, \(x = -1\) is a relative maximum
Step 11 :Substitute \(x = 3\) into the original function to find the y-value of the relative minimum: \(f(3) = -9\)
Step 12 :Substitute \(x = -1\) into the original function to find the y-value of the relative maximum: \(f(-1) = 11\)
Step 13 :\(\boxed{\text{The function has a relative maximum of 11 at x = -1 and a relative minimum of -9 at x = 3}}\)
