Analyze Increasing and Decreasing Behavior
A. Use the graph of the function f (x) = x 2 – 4 to
estimate intervals to the nearest 0.5 unit on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. Support the answer numerically.
Analyze Increasing and Decreasing Behavior
Analyze Graphically
From the graph, we can estimate that f is decreasing on and increasing on .
Support Numerically
Create a table using x-values in each interval.
The table shows that as x increases from negative values to 0, f (x) decreases; as x increases from 0 to positive values, f (x) increases. This supports the conjecture.

Estimate and Identify Extrema of a Function
Analyze Graphically
It appears that f (x) has a relative minimum at
x = –1 and a relative maximum at x = 2. It also appears
that so we conjecture
that this function has no absolute extrema.
Estimate and Identify Extrema of a Function
Because f (–1.5) > f (–1) and f (–0.5) > f (–1), there is a relative minimum in the interval (–1.5, –0.5) near –1. The approximate value of this relative maximum is f (–1) or –7.0.
Support Numerically
Choose x-values in half unit intervals on either side of the estimated x-value for each extremum, as well as one very large and one very small value for x.
Estimate and Identify Extrema of a Function
f (100) < f (2) and f (–100) > f (–1), which supports our conjecture that f has no absolute extrema.
Likewise, because f (1.5) < f (2) and f (2.5) < f (2), there is a relative maximum in the interval (1.5, 2.5) near 2. The approximate value of this relative minimum is f (2) or 14.
Answer: To the nearest 0.5 unit, there is a relative minimum at x = –1 and a relative maximum at x = 2. There are no absolute extrema.
Estimate and classify the extrema for the graph of f (x). Support the answers numerically.
A. There is a relative minimum of 2 at x = –1 and a relative maximum of 1 at x = 0. There are no absolute extrema.
B. There is a relative maximum of 2 at x = –1 and a relative minimum of 1 at x = 0. There are no absolute extrema.
C. There is a relative maximum of 2 at x = –1 and no relative minimum. There are no absolute extrema.
D. There is no relative maximum and there is a relative minimum of 1 at x = 0. There are no absolute extrema.

Graph the function and adjust the window as needed so that all of the graph’s behavior is visible.
Use a Graphing Calculator to Approximate Extrema
From the graph of f, it appears that the function has one relative minimum in the interval (–2, –1), one relative minimum in the interval (1, 2), and one relative maximum in the interval (–1, 0) of the domain. The end behavior of the graph suggests that this function has no absolute extrema.
Use a Graphing Calculator to Approximate Extrema
Using the minimum and maximum selection from the CALC menu of your graphing calculator, you can estimate that f(x) has a relative minimum of 0.80 at x = –1.47, a relative minimum of –5.51 at x = 1.67, and a relative maximum of 4.20 at x = –0.20.

Use Extrema for Optimization
FUEL ECONOMY Advertisements for a new car claim that a tank of gas will take a driver and three passengers about 360 miles. After researching on the Internet, you find the function for miles per tank of gas for the car is f (x) = 0.025x
2 + 3.5x + 240, where x is the speed in miles per hour . What speed optimizes the distance the car can travel on a tank of gas? How far will the car travel at that optimum speed?
Use Extrema for Optimization
We want to maximize the distance a car can travel on a tank of gas. Graph the function f (x) = 0.025x
2 + 3.5x + 240 using a graphing calculator. Then use the maximum selection from the CALC menu to approximate the x-value that will produce the greatest value for f (x).
Answer: There is a maximum of about 70 miles per hour. The car will travel 362.5 miles when traveling at the optimum speed.
Use Extrema for Optimization
The graph has a maximum of 362.5 for x ≈ 7.0. So the speed that optimizes the distance the car can travel on a tank of gas is 70 miles per hour. The distance the car travels at that speed is 362.5 miles.
