1 : Consider the following graph.
Which of the points above is/are a local maximum?
Remember that any point that is the largest value in some small segment of the
graph nearby is considered a local maximum. In particular you can have more than
one local maximum in a graph!
1.1 : Which of the points is/are a local minimum?
Remember that any point that is the lowest value in some small segment of the
graph nearby is considered a local minimum. In particular you can have more than
one local minimum in a graph!
1.1.1 : Which of the points is/are an absolute maximum?
Although more than one point can be an absolute maximum, there can be only one
absolute maximum value. In other words, the same -value can be attained on
multiple -values, but the absolute maximum is really asking about the highest -value
attained. So you should ask yourself; which point has the highest -value?

Which of the points above is/are a local maximum?
Remember that any point that is the largest value in some small segment of the
graph nearby is considered a local maximum.
2.1 : Which of the points is/are a local minimum?
Remember that any point that is the lowest value in some small segment of the
graph nearby is considered a local minimum.
2.1.1 : Which of the points is/are an absolute maximum?
Remember that the arrows at the end of the graph mean that it continues in that
direction forever. So any absolute maximum will be eventually passed by the upward
arrow on the right, meaning that there can’t actually be an absolute maximum.
