Math Problem Statement

Give final answer

For what values of x does the function f have a local (relative) maximum on [0, 8]? For what values of x does the function f have a local (relative) minimum on [0, 8]? Find the absolute maximum value for the function f on the interval [0, 8]. Find the absolute minimum value for the function f on the interval [0, 8].

Solution

Based on the graph you provided, let's address each question in turn:

  1. For what values of xx does the function ff have a local (relative) maximum on [0,8][0, 8]?

    • From the graph, there is a local maximum at x=4x = 4 where the curve peaks before descending again.
    • Answer: x=4x = 4
  2. For what values of xx does the function ff have a local (relative) minimum on [0,8][0, 8]?

    • The graph shows a local minimum at x=6x = 6, where the curve dips before rising again.
    • Answer: x=6x = 6
  3. Find the absolute maximum value for the function ff on the interval [0,8][0, 8].

    • The highest point on the graph is at x=0x = 0, where f(0)=5f(0) = 5.
    • Answer: The absolute maximum is 55.
  4. Find the absolute minimum value for the function ff on the interval [0,8][0, 8].

    • The lowest point on the graph is at x=6x = 6, where f(6)=0f(6) = 0.
    • Answer: The absolute minimum is 00.

Would you like further details on any of these? Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. What is the difference between local and absolute extrema?
  2. Can a function have more than one absolute maximum or minimum?
  3. How does the derivative of a function relate to its local maxima and minima?
  4. Can a function have a local maximum at an endpoint of its interval?
  5. What happens if a function has no local extrema on a given interval?

Tip: Always check endpoints of the interval when looking for absolute maximum and minimum values!
