Question

Use the graph of th given function to find any relative maxima and relative minima

Answer 1

SOLUTION

A relative maximum point is a point where the function changes direction from increasing to decreasing (making that point a "peak" in the graph)

Hence from the graph, the relative maximum is

$(-2,18)$

A relative minimum point is a point where the function changes direction from decreasing to increasing (making that point a "bottom" in the graph).

$(2,-14)$
