A) increasing on (-3, 0) ; decreasing on [-5, -3) and (2, 5] absolute maximum at (-5, 1) ; absolute minimum at (5, -3)
B) increasing on (-3, 0) ; decreasing on (-5, -3) and (2, 5) absolute maximum at (-5, 1) ; local maximum at (0, 0) and (2, 0) ;
Absolute minimum at (5, -3)
C) increasing on (-3, 0) ; decreasing on (-5, -3) and (2, 5) absolute maximum at (-5, 1) ; local minimum at (-3, -3) and (5, -3)
D) increasing on (-3, 1) ; decreasing on (-5, -3) and (0, 5) absolute maximum at (-5, 1) ; no absolute minimum
