4. The local maximum appears to occur at (−1,28), and the local minimum occurs at (5,−80). The function is increasing on (−∞,−1)∪(5,∞) and decreasing on (−1,5).
Solution to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. Yes, the average rate of change of all linear functions is constant.
3. The absolute maximum and minimum relate to the entire graph, whereas the local extrema relate only to a specific region around an open interval.
