I know how to find the relative max and min and absolute max and min nut this graph confuses me because I am not sure if there is a relative min and I don't know what the relative max is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Absolute minimum: x=3 Absolute maximum x=0 Relative minimum x=3 Relative maximum at x=1 and x=5

OpenStudy (loser66):

x=3 is abs min, just one role--> it cannot be rel min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there can only be one of each?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the relatives then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and 5 are the relatives right?

OpenStudy (loser66):

if we don't have rel min, so ignore it. What makes you think you have to have all of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because my assignment says identify relative extrema

OpenStudy (loser66):

rel max at 1 and 5 However, in case you don't have it, just state "No rela extrema"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so relative min: none relative max: 1 and 5 Absolute min: 3 Absolute max: 0

OpenStudy (loser66):

like the case they ask solve for...... and the answer is No solution, Nothing is wrong.

OpenStudy (loser66):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how can I prove that it doesn't exist?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says to explain my answer.

OpenStudy (loser66):

this problem based on the graph, so, "Look at the graph, the abs max is...." that's it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay awesome. Thanks for helping me! I was stuck because I thought that there was supposed to be a relative minimum.

OpenStudy (loser66):

hihihi
