Since the absolute maximum is the function (output) value rather than the x value, the answer is no; answers will vary
Absolute minima at −2, 2; absolute maxima at −2.5, 2.5; minima at –2, 0, and 2 (Note: –2 and 2 are both local and absolute minima); local maxima at −1, 1
Section 4.4 Exercises
Let represent the distance of Car 1 from Stoplight 1 at time . Let represent the distance of Car 2 from Stoplight 1 at time . Then . Let represent the time that the cars arrive at Stoplight 2. Then where is the distance between the stoplights.
Define a new function . Then . By the Mean Value Theorem, there is a time such that
At time c,
So, at time c, Car 1 and Car 2 are traveling at the same speed.
