Given that f(x)=1/(x^2-4) and the derivative is =-2x/(x^2-4)^2 , use methods of calculus to: a)use interval notation to identify where f(x) is increasing and b)use interval notation to identify where f(x) is decreasing and c) find all relative max/min points (both x and y values), if they exist.

Rate of Change
The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.
Slope
The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:
