Question

A question asks to list all local min values. It only lets me put one number, so do I list the x value or the y value of where the min is?

Answer 1

y is usually given as a function of x, e.g. y = f(x)

so y represents the "value" of the function.

Answer 2

I would therefore say that you should list the y values

Answer 3

so for (-4,1) that is where the max is found, I will write (-1) as the local max value right?

Answer 4

(-4,-1)*

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

wait, i have another question

Answer 7

okay so the question says this "All local min values of f:_____"
then it has another one that says "all values at which f has a local min"

Answer 8

the second part represents x. i is asking what values of x give you the local min "value" for f(x)

Answer 9

*it is asking...

Answer 10

okay so for the second part i list the x. okay i gotcha thanks so much for the clarification

Answer 11

I can draw a diagram if that would help?
