Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall the definition of local maximum
A local maximum of a function (y = f(x)) is a point ((a,f(a))) such that (f(a)\geq f(x)) for all (x) in some open interval containing (a).
Step2: Analyze the values around each (x) - value
- For (x = 0): We look at the values of (f(x)) for (x=-1) and (x = 1). (f(-1)=45), (f(0) = 64), (f(1)=45). Since (45<64), (f(0)\geq f(x)) for (x=-1) and (x = 1) (in the interval ((-1,1))).
- For (x = 3): (f(2)=0), (f(3)=- 35), (f(4)=0). Since (-35<0), it is not a local maximum.
- For (x = 5): We need to check the values around (x = 5). But we only know (f(4) = 0) and (f(6)=640). Since (0<189<640), it is not a local maximum (because (f(6)>f(5))).
- For (x = 2): (f(1)=45), (f(2)=0), (f(3)=-35). Since (0<45), it is not a local maximum.
Answer:
((0,64))
