Activity 2: Determine the absolute extrema of the function f(x) = x - 12x on [0, 4]. %3D Show complete solution using the four steps. Step 1. Determine if the polynomial is continuous. Step 2. Find the first derivative and find the critical points. Step 3. Evaluate the function at the critical points and the endpoints of the interval. Note only critical value that lie in the given interval. Step 4. Determine the maximum point (highest value of f(x) and the minimum point (lowest value of f(x), if there is any.

Determine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f increases on the interval -,x1 and decreases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local minimum value.
Determine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f decreases on the interval -,x1 and increases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local maximum value.
How are the absolute maximum and minimum similar to and different from the local extrema?
Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?
