Level: 
C
Identify a true statement on the function \(f(x) = \left (x - 1\right )^{3}\left (x + 1\right )^{2}\).
The function \(f\) has neither local minimum nor maximum at \(x = 1\).
The global maximum of \(f\) on \(\mathbb{R}\) is at \(x = -1\).
The function \(f\) has a local maximum at \(x = -\frac{1} {5}\).
The function \(f\) has three local extrema. These extrema are at \(x = 1\), \(x = -1\) and \(x = -\frac{1} {5}\).
