Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall local - minimum definition
A local minimum occurs where the function changes from decreasing to increasing.
Step2: Analyze the graph
By observing the graph of (y = w(x)), we look for points where the curve bottoms - out.
Answer:
A. From the graph, the local minimum occurs at the point ((2,-3))
B.
Explanation:
Step1: Recall local - maximum definition
A local maximum occurs where the function changes from increasing to decreasing.
Step2: Analyze the graph
By observing the graph of (y = w(x)), we look for points where the curve peaks.
Answer:
B. The local maximum occurs at the point ((0,1))
C.
Explanation:
Step1: Recall absolute - minimum definition
An absolute minimum on ((-\infty,\infty)) is the lowest point of the entire function.
Step2: Analyze the graph
As (x\to\pm\infty), the function (y = w(x)) seems to approach a horizontal asymptote. The lowest point in the visible part of the graph is ((2,-3)), but since the function extends to (-\infty) and (\infty), there is no absolute minimum.
Answer:
C. No
D.
Explanation:
Step1: Recall absolute - maximum definition
An absolute maximum on ((-\infty,\infty)) is the highest point of the entire function.
Step2: Analyze the graph
As (x\to\pm\infty), the function (y = w(x)) seems to approach a horizontal asymptote. The highest point in the visible part of the graph is ((0,1)), but since the function extends to (-\infty) and (\infty), there is no absolute maximum.
Answer:
D. No
E.
Explanation:
Since we determined in part D that there is no absolute maximum on ((-\infty,\infty)), we cannot give coordinates for an absolute maximum on ((-\infty,\infty))
Answer:
E. Does not exist
F.
Explanation:
Step1: Restrict to the interval ([- 1,1])
We only consider the part of the graph where (x\in[-1,1])
Step2: Find the highest point
By observing the graph in the interval ([-1,1]), the highest point is ((0,1))
Answer:
F. ((0,1))
G.
Explanation:
Step1: Restrict to the interval ([-1,1])
We only consider the part of the graph where (x\in[-1,1])
Step2: Find the lowest point
By observing the graph in the interval ([-1,1]), the lowest points occur at (x=-1) and (x = 1), and (y=-1)
Answer:
G. ((-1,-1)) and ((1,-1))
