Problem 5
Check if the function satisfies the conditions of the following theorem on its domain. If it does, identify the location and the value of the absolute extremum guaranteed by the theorem.
Theorem: Suppose is continuous on an interval that contains exactly one local extremum at . If a local maximum occurs at , then is the absolute maximum of on . If a local minimum occurs at , then is the absolute minimum of on .
