Answer 3

The local max occurs at ALL the high points on the graph. There can be more than one local max (or min, too). So the high points on your graph occur at the y values of 56 and 0. If you need the points written in coordinate form, they are (-1.6, 56), and (2,0). You need them now over the interval you specified, which is between the x values. What are they? All I see is a bunch of ? inside diamonds. Weird.

Answer 4

Is that [-3, 1.5]?

Answer 5

Yes it is

Answer 6

ok look back at your graph. You need the local max that occur between x = -3 and x = 1.5. Therefore, we know that the local max of (-1.6, 56) and (0, 2) will both work because the x values of those points fall between -3 and 1.5.

Answer 7

OK thank you

Answer 8

Nonononono....sorry.

Answer 9

Wait..... the second point doesn't fall in the interval. It can only go up to x = 1.5 so the second point does NOT fall in the interval. It's only the first point of (-1.6, 56)

And TY for the medal.

No problem
