Find the absolute minimum of f on 12 5 Select the correct c

Find the absolute minimum of f on [- 12, 5]. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. A. The absolute minimum of f is f() =. (Type integers or fractions.) B. There is no absolute minimum.

Solution

the absolute minimum of function on the interval [-12 , 5 ]

the minimum value occurs at x = -10 and minimum value of the function is -4

from the graph

hence, absolute minimum is f(-10) = - 4
