constant (d) Whether the function is even, odd, or neither
2. The graph of a function f is given. Use the graph to find: (a) The numbers, if any, at which f has a local maximum.
What are the local maximum values? (b) The numbers, if any, at which f has a local minimum. What are the local
minimum values?
