THis makes no sense to me :( help?
The slope or rate of change is zero at B, D and from E to F
The graph is decreasing for x<-7 and increasing on the interval -7<x<-2, The derivative at B, D is zero
so would there be no relative max or min from E to G because it is constant from E to F ?
The is no increase from E to G
It goes from zero to negative
G would be a relative min in the neighborhood
D is a relative max in neighborhood
Hard to say G is a minimum because we don't know what happens to the graph from G
Critical points at B and D
Point of inflection at C. This is where the second derivative is zero
But you could say that is a relative minimum in the interval -10<x<5
Graph is decreasing from D to E or on the interval of -2<x<1
But you could say that B is a relative minimum in the interval -10<x<5
