Question

#27State wether each labeled point identifies a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither. Identify intervals on which the function is decreasing and increasing.

Answer 1

According to the graph, we have:

(1, 5) is a local maximum

(5,1) is a local minimum

-∞ < x < 1 the function is increasing

1 < x < 5 the function is decreasing

5 < x < ∞ the function is increasing
