Question

the function $f(x)$ is graphed below. how many points on the graph represent a relative minimum?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of relative minimum

A relative minimum of a function is a point where the function changes from decreasing to increasing.

Step2: Analyze the graph

Looking at the graph of \(y = f(x)\), we can identify the points where the function has a "valley" (changes from decreasing to increasing). Points \(b\) and \(f\) are such points.

Answer:

\(2\)
