Answer:
The graph has local maximum at (0,0) and minimum at (-2,-4) and (2,-4).
Explanation:
Consider the provided graph.
it is not always possible to find maximum or minimum for the whole function, but locally it is.
To find the local maximum and minimum we need to choose an interval first.
Local maximum: f(c) ≥ f(x) for all x in the interval
Local minimum: f(c) ≤ f(x) for all x in the interval
For better understanding refer the figure 1
Now consider the provided graph:
The graph of the function at (-2,-4) and (2,-4) shows the minimum value that is -4.
Because at x = -2 and 2 the value of function f(x)≥f(c) for every x in the domain.
Also the graph of the function has local maximum at (0,0) as at x = 0
The value of function f(x)≤f(c) for every x in the domain.
Hence, the graph has local maximum at (0,0) and minimum at (-2,-4) and (2,-4).
