Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function over the indicated interval, and indicate the
The absolute maximum value is at
Step 1 :The function given is
Step 2 :The maximum or minimum value of a function can occur either at the endpoints of the interval or at the critical points within the interval.
Step 3 :The critical points are the points where the derivative of the function is zero or undefined. In this case, the derivative of the function is always defined, so we only need to find where it is zero.
Step 4 :The derivative of the function
Step 5 :We evaluate the function at the critical point and the endpoints of the interval to find the maximum and minimum values. The values are
Step 6 :Comparing these values, we find that the maximum value of the function over the interval [0,5] is -4, which occurs at
Step 7 :However, the question only asks for the maximum value and the x-value at which it occurs. So, the absolute maximum value of the function over the interval [0,5] is at
Step 8 :
