The function $g(x)$ is continuous and differentiable at all points in $\\mathbb{R}$ as $ \\var{c} \\notin I$.
\nOn differentiating we see that
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*}g'(x)&=&\\simplify{2*x/(x-{c})^({a}/{b}) - {a}*x^2/({b}(x-{c})^({a+b}/{b}))}\\\\ &=&\\simplify{({2*b}x*(x-{c})-{a}*x^2)/({b}(x-{c})^({a+b}/{b}))}\\\\ &=&\\simplify{(x*({2*b-a}x-{2*b*c}))/({b}(x-{c})^({a+b}/{b}))} \\end{eqnarray*} \\]
The stationary points are given by solving $g'(x)=0$.
\n$\\displaystyle g'(x)=0 \\Rightarrow \\simplify{x*({2*b-a}x-{2*b*c})=0} \\Rightarrow x=0 \\mbox{ or } x=\\simplify[std]{{2*b*c}/{2*b-a}}$
\nWe see that $\\displaystyle x=\\simplify[std]{{2*b*c}/{2*b-a}}$ is the only stationary point in $I$.
\nThe second derivative can be found by applying the quotient rule to the derivative of $g(x)$ and we obtain:
\nUsing the quotient rule for differentiation we see that
\\[g''(x)=\\simplify[std]{({a^2-3*a*b+2*b^2}*x^2+{4*b*c*(a-b)}*x+{2*c^2*b^2})/({b^2}(x-{c})^({a+2*b}/{b}))}\\]
Hence \\[r(x)=\\simplify[std]{({a^2-3*a*b+2*b^2}*x^2+{4*b*c*(a-b)}*x+{2*c^2*b^2})}\\]
\nThe nature of the stationary points are determined by evaluating $g''(x)$ at the stationary points.
\nThere is only one stationary point $\\displaystyle x=\\simplify[std]{{2*b*c}/{2*b-a}}$ in $I$ and at that point we have:
\\[g''\\left(\\simplify[std]{{2*b*c}/{2*b-a}}\\right)=\\var{valsd} \\gt 0\\]
Hence this point is a local minimum.
\nThe values of $g$ at the endpoints are:
\n$g(\\var{l})=\\var{valbegin}$ and $g(\\var{m})=\\var{valend}$, both to 3 decimal places.
\nGlobal Maximum: Since $g$ does not have a local maximum in the interval $I$, it must take a global maximum value at one of the end points of the interval.
\nFrom the values found for $g(\\var{l})$ and $g(\\var{m})$ found above, we see that $x=\\var{xma}$ is the global maximum for $g$ in the interval $I$.
\nGlobal Minimum: The local minimum of $g$ given by $ \\displaystyle x=\\simplify[std]{{2*b*c}/{2*b-a}} \\in I$ is the only local minimum and must be a global minimum in $I$.
\nNote that the global minimum value for $g$ on $I$ is:
