Answer:
- local minima: at x=-1, x=3
- local minimum values: -2 and -1 (respectively)
Explanation:
A local minimum is where the curve stops going down and starts going up. It is the bottom of any U-shaped spot. Here, those are identified with dots at the coordinates (-1, -2) and (3, -1).
(a) the x-values at which f has a local minimum are -1 and 3.
(b) the local minimum values of f are -2 and -1 at those x-values.
