Below are four graphs that represent different aspects of the function \( y = x - 5x^{1/3} \), plotted over a range from \( x = -10 \) to \( x = 10 \).
#### Top Left Graph
- The graph represents the function for values of \( x \) where \( -10 \leq x \leq 10 \).
- The graph shows a curve starting from \( y = 0 \) at \( x = 0 \) and dipping downwards into the third quadrant before gradually rising again into the first quadrant.
- The curve demonstrates a local minimum in the negative part of the \( x \)-axis.
#### Top Right Graph
- This graph again showcases the function for the same range of \( x \), with a greater focus on the critical points and steeper changes in the function's direction.
- It appears to exhibit both a local maximum somewhere between \( x = -5 \) and \( x = 0 \), and a local minimum near \( x = 5 \).
- The curve starts from the bottom left, rises sharply to the local maximum, dips down to the local minimum, and rises again towards the top right of the graph.
#### Bottom Left Graph
- Focusing primarily on the positive \( x \)-axis, this graph shows the function rises sharply as \( x \) increases from 0.
- The positive values of \( x \) show that the function has an increasing nature past the critical point.
- There is no visible minimum or maximum, emphasizing a steady rise towards the positive region.
#### Bottom Right Graph
- Much like the top graphs, but with a focus on both \( x \)-axis extremes, this graph demonstrates complex behavior.
- The function experiences multiple changes in direction, with a local minimum observed negative \( y \)-values, and curves heavily towards positive \( y \)-values as \( x \) increases.
- The behavior emphasizes the non-linear nature of the function.
### Summary
The function \( y = x - 5x^{1/3} \) exhibits interesting characteristics such as local minima and maxima, as well as changing curvatures. These graphs elucidate the intricate behavior of the function, making it a useful example for studying polynomial and rational functions.
Definition Definition Lowest point, either on the entire domain or on the given range of a function is called minimum. The plural form of 'minimum' is 'minima'.
