Which of the following are true? A) It is possible for a function to not have a global maximum or a global minimum. B) If a function has 3 critical points then it must have a global maximum. Select one: a. Only A b. A and B c. Only B d. Neither A or B

For example, the function f(x) = x^3 has no global maximum or minimum because its graph extends indefinitely in both the positive and negative y-directions. So, statement A is true. B) The number of critical points a function has does not necessarily determine Show more…

Which of the following are true? A) If f'(p) = 0 and f''(p) > 0 then p is a global maximum. B) If function y = f(x) is increasing on the interval a <= x <= b, then the global minimum of f on this interval occurs at x = b. Select one: a. Only B b. Neither A nor B c. Only A d. A and B

Which of the given statements involving extrema are true? Any function f that is defined on an open interval (a, b) must have an absolute maximum. If a function f is defined on the interval [a, b], differentiable on (a, b), and decreasing on [a, b], then there must be absolute minimum at b. Any function f that is defined and continuous on a closed interval [a, b] must have an absolute minimum. If c is a critical number, then there is a local extreme value at c. If a function f fails to be differentiable at c, then it cannot have a local extreme value at c.
