Question

Use the graph of f to estimate the local maximum and local minimum.

Answer 1

well maximum => concave down
minimum => concave up
what do you think?

Answer 2

A?

Answer 3

Well, looks right to me

Answer 4

wait..it doesnt go to infinity tho

Answer 5

the maximum is the point that concaves down..in which is (0,0) do you agree?

Answer 6

A or D

Answer 7

Well, what do you think? I have give you enough hints..

Answer 8

given*

Answer 9

I think its D

Answer 10

i think that its D as well..but do you understand why?

Answer 11

yes your a great help hun

Answer 12

Are you sure its D

Answer 13

it looks as though its D to me..since theres no asymptotes so it cant go to infinity..and the point that concave down is (0,0)

Answer 14

local max and min
not absolute max and min

Answer 15

whats the difference between local and absolute?

Answer 16

Does anyone think we are right??????//

Answer 17

i believe local just refers to teh curves while absolute max and min mean the actual max and min in a given interval

Answer 18

well i dont see the difference..do you think that its D though, completeidiot?

Answer 19

id go with d

Answer 20

alright, since completeidiot agrees with me as well; so its D

Answer 26

lol, Hero would go for D as well; for sure if he does not want to be wrong and humilaiates himself.

Answer 27

then local and absolute min and max is the same?

Answer 28

@Mimi_x3, you're not my publicist or my spokesperson.

Answer 29

i was saying it on your behalf; you should be honoured hero :P

Answer 30

hero what do you think

Answer 31

absolute is the same as global

in this case absolute max would be infinity because the intervals are infinity infinity

absolute min would be the same as local min

local max would be at (0,0)

Answer 32

I just came here because @Mimi_x3 was here. I didn't even read the question. I was just responding to what she said to completeidiot.

Answer 33

How can I stalk someone on OS? Kinda silly.

Answer 37

well following me is considered as stalking..

Answer 38

please @Hero just help

Answer 39

Yeah, it's pretty obvious what the min and max values are.

Answer 40
