Maximums and Minimums of Polynomial Graphs

Where do you find relative minimums and relative maximums?

• zeros
• y-intercepts
• turning points
• by degree

How many extrema (relative maxes and mins) are in the picture?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

What is the relative max?

• y = 36 at x = 0
• y = -6.55 at x= -2.55
• (-∞, ∞)
• None

What is the relative max of this function?

• x = 5
• infinity
• there is no relative maximum
• 2.5 and it occurs at x = 5

Which of the following statement are false.

• There is a relative min at the point (8,0)
• There is another relative min at the point (0,-7.5)
• There is a relative max at the point (5,2.5)
• There are more relative maximums than there are relative minimums.

How would you describe the point at (0,6)?

• Relative Minimum

• Absolute Minimum

• Relative Maximum

• Absolute Maximum

Which of the following is true?

• (0, 6) is the absolute minimum of the graph.

• There is no absolute minimum for this graph.

What is the RANGE (lowest y-value to highest y-value) of the function being graphed?

• (-∞, ∞)

• [7, ∞)

• (-∞, 7]

• [-2, 2]
