Even and odd functions a. Suppose a nonconstant even function $f$ has a local minimum at C. Does $f$ have a local maximum or minimum at $-c ?$ Explain. (An even function satisfies $f(-x)=f(x)$ -) b. Suppose a nonconstant odd function $f$ has a local minimum at C. Does $f$ have a local maximum or minimum at $-c ?$ Explain. (An odd function satisfies $f(-x)=-f(x) .)$
