determine the absolute maximum value of the function f. graph of f

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Absolute Maximum

The absolute maximum of a function on its graph is the highest point (maximum ( y )-value) the graph reaches.

Step2: Analyze the Graph

Looking at the given graph, we identify the peak points. The highest point (maximum ( y )-coordinate) on the graph is at ( y = 8 ) (from the ( y )-axis scale and the graph's peak).

Answer:

8
