<h3>Answer: True</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The absolute maximum is the largest y output of a function. Visually, it is always located at the highest point on the curve. It appears that y = 2 is the absolute maximum because of the highest point (3,2). However, this is an open hole which is <u>not</u> part of the graph. Think of the curve like a road, and the open hole is a pothole you can't drive over.  

Since (3,2) is not part of the graph, this means we can't reach y = 2 itself. We can get closer and closer to 2 from the underside, but that's about it. So this is why this graph does not have an absolute maximum. The absolute minimum doesn't exist either for similar reasoning.

Put another way, let's say we could claim there is an absolute max and the claim is that it's y = 1.999; the problem with this statement is that we can get closer to 2 by claiming the absolute max is y = 1.9999, and then we can get closer at y = 1.99999 and so on. We'll never be able to reach 2 itself.

Therefore, the claim "the function has no absolute maximum" is true.

The center of a circle is at (2, -5) and it's radius is 12. What is the equation of the circle?
Svetach [21]
The equation for a circle is (x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2=r^2
You just have to plug in your coordinates h is the x and k is the y.
The r is radius squared.
so, (x-2)^2+(y-(-5)^2=144
You have to be careful of those tricky negative values. When you distribute the y-(-5) it turns into y+5. 
So your answer is D.

Can someone tell me how to do this! #2 &amp; #4

2) The area is 1.1 m^2 because to find the area the formula is width*length. SO you would separate it. It would be 0.9 * 1 = 0.9 and 0.4 * 0.5 = 0.2. Then you add it together. So it would be 1.1 m^2. The perimeter is all the sides added together so 4.2 m, but it says mm so you have to convert it and you get 4200.
4) Area is 1.16 cm^2. Again you would seperate it. So, 1 * 1 = 1 and .2 * .8 = .16. Then you add it together and get 1.16 cm^2. The perimeter is all the sides added up. You get 4.2 cm.
