Solution

(a) Given that f '(3) = 0 and f ''(3) = -5, we can say that at x = 3, f has a local maximum. This is because the first derivative of a function at a point is zero and the second derivative at that point is negative, it indicates a local maximum.

(b) Given that f '(4) = 0 and f ''(4) = 0, we cannot definitively say whether f has a local maximum, a local minimum, or neither at x = 4. This is because the second derivative test is inconclusive when the second derivative at that point is zero. More information is needed to determine if f has a maximum or minimum at x = 4.
