Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to determine the x-values where the graphs have relative minima or maxima by examining the turning points of each polynomial graph.
Analyzing the Graphs
Graph 9:
-
Relative Minima: A relative minimum occurs where the graph changes from decreasing to increasing.
- The graph shows a relative minimum at and another at .
-
Relative Maxima: A relative maximum occurs where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing.
- The graph shows a relative maximum at .
Graph 10:
-
Relative Minima:
- The graph shows a relative minimum at .
-
Relative Maxima:
- The graph shows a relative maximum at and another at .
Answers:
-
Graph 9:
- Relative minimums at
- Relative maximums at
-
Graph 10:
- Relative minimums at
- Relative maximums at
