I am unsure about how to answer part b and c of the attached question. Let f(t) be the piecewise linear function with domain 0

Let f(t) be the piecewise linear function with domain 0 < t< 8 shown in the graph below (which is determined by connecting the dots). Define a function A(x) with domain 0 < x< 8 by A(z) = f(e) dt. Notice that A(x) is the net area under the function f(t) for 0

Determine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f increases on the interval -,x1 and decreases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local minimum value.
Determine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. All functions have a local maximum value and a local minimum value.
