Where is the relative maximum on this graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it at 3 or 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the quantity on y-axis. F(x) or F(x)'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the x-values for which f has a relative maximum.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's at x=3, but it could also be a trick question because there is no point where the derivative is zero (horizontal tangents) so the answer could be NO relative maxima.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that it is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea. Im confused because the at x=3 the function is non differentiable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm okay. I am not sure how to know exactly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sharp points are non differentiable in any curve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So does that mean that there is not relative maximum?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shamil98 ???? Can you help with this question?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am really not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is x= 3 because of this graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer is x=3. I checked. Function need not be continuous or differentiable for maxima or minima to exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay awesome!!
