Math Problem Statement
Use the graph to determine the locations and type of the local extrema. Write DNE for all extrema that do not exist. Separate multiple answers with a comma, if necessary.
Solution
To analyze this graph and determine the local extrema, let's examine the peaks and troughs along the curve.
The graph shows a function that appears to have:
- A local maximum at approximately , where the function reaches its highest point around .
- No local minimum in the visible part of the graph, as there is no lowest turning point; the curve continues downward without turning back up.
Thus, the answer is:
- Local Maximum:
- Local Minimum: DNE (Does Not Exist)

Here are some additional questions related to this topic:
- How do we determine if a critical point is a local maximum or minimum?
- What is the difference between local and absolute extrema?
- How can we find local extrema using calculus instead of just the graph?
- What types of functions typically have both a local maximum and minimum?
- How do we interpret intervals of increasing and decreasing in relation to local extrema?
Tip: For polynomial functions, local extrema occur where the derivative is zero or undefined, indicating possible peaks or troughs in the curve.
