Transcript text: Which of the following is true for the function shown above. A Extrema $=(3.47,-0.74)$ B Local Max $=0.76$ at $x=-0.74$ C Local Max $=0$ at $x=5$ D Local Max $=-0.74$ at $x=0.76$ E Local Max $=-0.74$ F Extrema $=(0,0.6)$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the local maxima
A local maximum is a point on the graph where the function's value is greater than the values immediately surrounding it. Looking at the graph, we can see a "peak" around x = -1. Its y-value appears a bit above 0. Another candidate for a local maximum does not exist.
Step 2: Identify the local minima
A local minimum is a point on the graph where the function's value is less than the values immediately surrounding it. The graph has a "valley" around x = 4. Its y-value appears to be slightly less than -1, close to -0.7 or -0.8
Step 3: Evaluate the options
A. Extrema = (3.47, -0.74). The minimum looks close to x=4, not 3.47. The y-value seems plausible. This is unlikely.
B. Local Max = 0.76 at x=-0.74. The local max is around x = -1, not -0.74. The y-value also isn't accurate. This is incorrect.
C. Local Max = 0 at x=5. There's no maximum at x=5. This is incorrect.
D. Local Max = -0.74 at x = 0.76. This states that a maximum is around x = 0.76 which is false. The y-value is also wrong.
E. Local Max = -0.74. This states that the maximum value is negative, which is not true for local maxima. This is incorrect.
F. Extrema = (0, 0.6). If "extrema" includes both maximum and minimum points, this is incorrect as the graph seems to have a y-intercept close to 0.7 or 0.8. This is incorrect.
None of the provided options are entirely correct.
Final Answer
None of the provided options are correct. The local maximum is approximately at (-1, 0.8), and the local minimum is approximately at (4, -0.8). Therefore, none of the given options accurately represent the extrema of the function.
