Notice 4 real zeros of the function.

anonymous · Answer

thank you :) do you know how I would be able to find the local minimum and local maximum as well as the coordinates of the absolute minimum?

anonymous · Answer

What math class are you in? You would need the calculus for that/

anonymous · Answer

I am in pre calculus :(

anonymous · Answer

can you help me? :)

anonymous · Answer

there is this thing called function graph calculator. It gives the graph once you put in the function. :)

anonymous · Answer

is there a website for that? :) @severus4ever

anonymous · Answer

I dont know how your teacher would expect you to compute rel max/min without some calculus.

idk lol i dont really have a teacher, im taking this class through an online program :o

anonymous · Answer

same here, it sucks doesnt it?

anonymous · Answer

I checked the graph with the websites and I know my graph is correct, I just dont know how to find the  local minimum, local maximum, and the coordinates of the absolute minimum

anonymous · Answer

yeah, it totally sucks :( @severus4ever

anonymous · Answer

im pretty sure there should be a different website for that, im going to go check.
