Question

Estimate the x-value of a local maximum shown in the polynomial graphed below. (Enter the estimated x-value as a decimal.)

Answer 1

Local Min: (-1.9, 5.1)

Local Max: (0.5, -1.8)

Explanation:

The local min and max are mins and maxes relative to the surrounding points. We see that our local min would happen around x ≈ 0.5 and our local max will happen at x ≈ -1.9.
