Question

where is the local maximum for the graph below? check the correct square.

Explanation:

A local maximum is a point on a graph where the function changes from increasing to decreasing, making it the highest point in its immediate neighborhood. Looking at the given graph, the top-most curved point (the peak left of the y-axis) fits this definition, and it is enclosed in the top-left square.

Answer:

The top-left square (enclosing the peak of the graph left of the y-axis) is the location of the local maximum.
