Using the graph, determine any relative maxima or minima of the function and the intervals on which the function is
increasing or decreasing. Round to three decimal places when necessary.
-$f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } - x + 1$

A) relative maximum: 2.056 at x=-1.215 ; relative minima: 0.684 at x=0.549 and 1 at x=0 ; increasing (-1.215,0.549) ; decreasing $( - \infty , - 1.215 ) , ( 0.549 , \infty )$
B) relative maximum: 0.684 at x=0.549 ; relative minimum: 2.056 at x=-1.215 ; increasing (-1.215,0.549) ; decreasing $( - \infty , - 1.215 ) , ( 0.549 , \infty )$
C) no relative maxima or minima; increasing $( \rightarrow \infty , - 1.215 ) , ( 0.549 , \infty )$ decreasing (-1.215,0.549)
D) relative maximum: 2.056 at x=-1.215 ; relative minimum: 0.684 at x=0.549 ; increasing $( \infty , - 1.215 ) , ( 0.549 , \infty )$ decreasing (-1.215,0.549)
