Determine the location and value of the absolute extreme values of f on the given​ interval, if they exist. ​

Question

f(x)= x^2 - 9 on [-3,4]

What is/are the absolute​ maximum/maxima of f on the given​ interval?

Absolute maximum/maxima is/are _ at x= _

What​ is/are the absolute​ minimum/minima of f on the given​ interval?

Absolute minimum/minima is/are _ at x= _

Answer 1

f(x) = x² - 9 is an upward opening parabola with a vertex (absolute minimum) at (0, -9).
