Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Chapter 3.2, Problem 4E

Which of the following statements couldn’t possibly be true about the polynomial function P?

(a) P has degree 3, two local maxima, and two local minima.
(b) P has degree 3 and no local maxima or minima.
(c) P has degree 4, one local maximum, and no local minima.

(a)

Expert Solution

To determine

To check: The given statement is true or not.

Answer to Problem 4E

The given statement is not true.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The polynomial P has 3 degree. The given polynomial has two local maxima and two local minima.

Calculation:

Let us consider a polynomial P of degree n.

Then the graph of P has at most n−1 local extrema.

Local extrema is the points on the graph that has maximum and minimum value.

If a polynomial has 3 degree then the no of extrema is 2.

The given statement is that polynomial has 2 local maxima and 2 local minima that means there are 4 local extrema, but the polynomial have only 2 extrema.

Thus, the given statement is not true.

(b)

Expert Solution

To determine

To check: The given statement is true or not.

Answer to Problem 4E

The given statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The polynomial P has 3 degree. The given polynomial has no local maxima or minima.

Calculation:

Let us consider a polynomial P of degree n.

Then the graph of P has at most n−1 local extrema.

Local extrema is the points on the graph that has maximum and minimum value.

If a polynomial has 3 degree then at most 2 local extrema, but there is no minimum number for local minima and maxima.

So, it may be possible that there should not be any local maxima or minima.

Thus, the given statement is true.

(c)

Expert Solution

To determine

To check: The given statement is true or not.

Answer to Problem 4E

The given statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The polynomial P has 4 degree. The given polynomial has one local maximum and no minima.

Calculation:

Let us consider a polynomial P of degree n.

Then the graph of P has at most n−1 local extrema.

Local extrema is the points on the graph that has maximum and minimum value.

If a polynomial has 4 degree then at most 3 local extrema, but there is no minimum number for local minima and maxima.

So, it may be possible that there should one local maximum and no local minima.

Thus, the given statement is true.
