THE DERIVATIVE IN GRAPHING AND APPLICATIONS
Absolute Maxima and Minima
Determine whether the statement is true or false. Explain your answer. If a function $f$ is continuous on $[a, b]$ and $f$ has no relative extreme values in $(a, b),$ then the absolute maximum value of $f$ exists and occurs either at $x=a$ or at $x=b$
If f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], then f attains an absolute maximum value and an absolute minimum value at some points in the interval [a, b]: True False
