In class today we were doing a problem where we were given the graph of f (the derivitive of F).
The domain was -3<x < or = 8
f(8)=0 and f had changed from positive <8 to 0, indicating a probable relative max (the function looked like a sinusoid, but the points after 8 were not graphed or included in the domain)
Therefore my question is, is 8 a relative max of F in that domain? or is not enough info there (i.e. it could have just bounced)?
My reasoning for it being a rel max is that it is a max value in the window.
What do you think?
