a) The signs of the first derivative (g') tell you the graph increases as you go left from x=4 and as you go right from x=-2. Since g(4) < g(-2), one absolute extreme is (4, g(4)) = (4, 1).

The sign of the first derivative changes at x=0, at which point the slope is undefined (the curve is vertical). The curve approaches +∞ at x=0 both from the left and from the right, so the other absolute extreme is (0, +∞).

b) The second derivative (g'') changes sign at x=2, so there is a point of inflection there.

c) There is a vertical asymptote at x=0 and a flat spot at x=2. The curve goes through the points (-2, 5) and (4, 1), is increasing to the left of x=0 and non-increasing to the right of x=0. The curve is concave upward on [-2, 0) and (0, 2) and concave downward on (2, 4]. A possible graph is shown, along with the first and second derivatives.
