Answer:

[tex]Minimum = (5,7)[/tex]

No maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = 0.9|-(x - 5)| + 7[/tex]

Solving (a): The minimum

The minimum is when the absolute parameter gives 0

i.e.

[tex]0.9|-(x - 5)| =0[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.9

[tex]|-(x - 5)| =0[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]|-x + 5| =0[/tex]

Remove absolute sign

[tex]-x + 5 =0[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Then the y value is:

[tex]f(x) = 0.9|-(x - 5)| + 7[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]0.9|-(x - 5)| =0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(x) = 0 + 7[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 7[/tex]

Hence, the minimum is at: [tex](5,7)[/tex]

Since the minimum is at [tex](5,7)[/tex], then the graph will open upwards.

Hence. the function has no maximum; i.e.

[tex]Maximum = (\infty,\infty)[/tex]
