(1) (3, 1) (Absolute maximum)
(0, -3) (Absolute minimum)
(2) Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value, if any, of the following function. (If an absolute maximum/minimum does not exist, enter NONE in that blank.)
Since the leading coefficient is negative, g(x) has only a maximum and no minimum
g(x) = -(x^2 - 2x) + 10 = -(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 10 + 1 = -(x - 1)^2 + 11
The vertex is at (1, 11)
NONE (Absolute minimum)
11 (Absolute maximum)
(3) Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value, if any, of the following function. (If an absolute maximum/minimum does not exist, enter NONE in that blank.)
f'(x) = [(16 + x^2) - x(2x)]/(16 + x^2)^2 = (16 - x^2)/(16 + x^2)^2
f'(x) = 0 x = {-4, 4}
f"(x) = [(16 + x^2)^2 * (-2x) - (16 - x^2) * 2(16 + x^2) * 2x]/(16 + x^2)^4
f"(-4) > 0 and f"(4) < 0
f(x) has a minimum at x = -4 and a maximum at x = 4
The minimum value is f(-4) = -0.125 and the maximum value is f(4) = 0.125
-0.125 (Absolute minimum)
0.125 (Absolute maximum)
(4) Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value, if any, of the following function. (If an absolute maximum/minimum does not exist, enter NONE in that blank.)
Since the leading coefficient is negative, f(x) has only a ...
