So before starting this problem, i actually already knew that the correct answer for this graph of f of x based off of the first statement.
00:11
So the fact that you have a negative leading coefficient and an even degree, i knew that we had to choose the option that ended both down and to the left and down and to the right.
00:27
Because an even degree has the same in behavior and a negative is pointed down.
00:33
So from there, i went ahead and picked out the graph c and i finished typing out all this into my graph and calculator computer algebra system and saw the graph look exactly like what it does.
00:46
It goes up, down, up, down, and back up.
00:54
So in the second part of this question, so just so we're clear, question one, the answer is c.
01:04
With question two, there are several relative maxes.
01:10
There's three to be exact.
01:12
One, two, three.
01:15
And the way i interpret a max is i'm just going to give the y value and i'm going to go in order from least to greatest.
01:23
So i'm going to start with this one and i'm just typing into my calculator, second trace, the maximum.
01:30
A lot of computer algebra systems will do this and you just might have to enter a couple times on the left side, the right side, and in between.
01:37
And the values i got were, don't want the decimal in there, 10 ,013 .795.
01:47
And then do that again, same process, enter, enter, enter.
01:58
And the next time i got 88 ,240 .064.
02:07
Now if you're curious, oh, it does say type in ordered pairs.
02:12
So i probably should put that ordered pair in here, three decimals.
02:18
Kind of wish i gave myself some more room now...
