Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph shows a parabola opening downward, which means the function has a local maximum at its vertex.
To solve:
(a) All local maximum values of :
The local maximum occurs at the highest point of the graph. By looking at the graph, the vertex is at . Therefore, the local maximum value of is:
(b) All values at which has a local maximum:
The x-coordinate of the vertex where the local maximum occurs is . Therefore, the value at which has a local maximum is:

- What is the difference between a global maximum and a local maximum?
- Can a function have more than one local maximum or minimum?
- How do you determine if a point is a local maximum using derivatives?
- What role does the second derivative test play in finding local maxima?
Tip: When identifying local maxima or minima from a graph, focus on the turning points where the graph changes direction.
