First Derivative Test definition

Suppose that x=c is a critical point of f(x) then,
If f ′(x)>0 to the left of x=c and f ′(x)<0 to the right of x=c then x=c is a local maximum.
If f ′(x)<0 to the left of x=c and f ′(x)> 0 to the right of x=c then x=c is a local minimum.
If f ′(x) is the same sign on both sides of x=c then x=c is neither a local maximum nor a local minimum.

f ′(x)=3x²−3
