Explanation of Solution
Given information: the function provided in the question is,
From the provided information draw a graph using the graphing calculator,
Local maximum value of f ( a ) on a graph of f is the highest value on an interval containing a . Therefore, the local maximum value on the provided graph of f is 1.3, at x = -0.5.
The local minimum value of f ( a ) on a graph of f is the lowest value on an interval containing a . The local minimum value on the provided graph is undefined as the function is increasing from -infinity and then decreasing till +infinity.
Hence, the local maximum is
