Step 1:

Definition of local maximum and local minimum :

1. The number c is a local maximum value of f if image when is near c.

2.The number c is a local minimum value of  f if when is near c.

Definition of absolute maximum and absolute minimum :

Let c be a number in the domain of a function f.

1.The number c is a absolute maximum value of f on if image for all in .

2.The number c is a absolute minimum value of f on if for all in .

Step 2:

The function is and the interval is .

Graph :

Graph the function in the interval .

image

Observe the graph.

The graph of the function image decreases as the values of increases.

Hence the function has no global extrema and no local extrema.

Solution:

The function has no global extrema and no local extrema in the interval .
