Question

A function and its first and second derivatives are given. Use these to find any relative maxima.   
E) no relative maxima

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find relative maxima, we need to look for points where the first derivative changes sign from positive to negative. However, looking at the first derivative given, it is always negative. This tells us that the function is decreasing everywhere and there are no relative maxima. Therefore, the answer is E, no relative maxima.
