Q3. Let f(x) = {x; 0 < x < 1, 1/2; x = 0,1. Explain why f has neither a minimum value nor a maximum value on the closed interval [0, 1] (Ex. 6; 4.4). Q4. Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of f on the given closed and open interval, and state where those values occur. (Ex. 10, 14, 25) (i) f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 12x; [-3, 2] (ii) f(x) = 2x^3 - 6x + 2; (-∞, +∞) (iii) f(x) = sin x - cos x; [0, π]

If $f^{\prime}(a)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(x)$ is decreasing at $x=a,$ explain why $f(x)$ must have a local maximum at $x=a.$
