Explain the difference between an absolute minimum and a localminimum.

a) There is no difference.

b) A function f has an absoluteminimum at x = c if f(c)is the smallest function value on the entire domainof f, whereas f hasa localminimum at c if f(c)is the smallest function value when x isnear c.

c) A function f has an absoluteminimum at x = c if f(c)is the smallest function value when x isnear c, whereas f hasa localminimum at c if f(c)is the smallest function value on the entire domainof f.

d) A function f has an absoluteminimum at x = c if f(c)is the largest function value on the entire domainof f, whereas f hasa localminimum at c if f(c)is the largest function value when x isnear c.

e) A function f has an absoluteminimum at x = c if f(c)is the largest function value when x isnear c, whereas f hasa localminimum at c if f(c)is the largest function value on the entire domainof f.
