find the minimum and maximum value of \(y\) if

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} y=\text{max}(2x+3,x-1),\ -10\leq x\leq 10\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since it is a linear function you can test the endpoints.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

how is defined: \[\Large \max \left( {f\left( x \right),g\left( x \right)} \right)\]?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is it a metric?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, I remember now!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we can write this: \[\max \left( {f\left( x \right),g\left( x \right)} \right) = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ {f\left( x \right) + g\left( x \right) + \left| {f\left( x \right) - g\left( x \right)} \right|} \right\}\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am with @jayzdd

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

well answer given is \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & y_{\text{max}} =23\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & y_{\text{min}} =-11\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used a wrong formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It must be\[y=\frac{3x+2+|x+4|}{2}\]

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

@Michele_Laino 's formula looks correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, that's the correct formula

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

just for the record https://www.desmos.com/calculator/a9klmgww5t

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we just need to plug three values for finding max and min, -10, -4 and 10

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes -10 and 10
