Hi guys quick question, can there be two absolute min/max values if both points are equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good question. I guess its semantics to a certain extent. I am not sure of the accepted answer though. How does your text define absolute max?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, i was reading the text and it didnt mention it so igot curious lol ill ask my teacher tomorrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sounds good...I have an answer from a text on my shelf if you are interested. @wakoff

Let c be a number in the Domain D of a function f. Then f(c) is the absolute maximum value of f on D if \[f(c)gef(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*\[f(c) \ge f(x)\] for all x in D. This means as long as it is greater than OR equal to all other values. So it would be possible to have more than one absolute max or min.
