There is a relative maximum at x=2.
There is a relative maximum at x is equal to 2. - incorrect
There is a relative maximum at x=0.- correct
explain how you get that answer
To identify the relative maximum of a polynomial function, we need to analyze the slope of the graph. A relative maximum occurs when the slope changes from positive to negative.
In this case, the correct answer is "There is a relative maximum at x=0." This is because the slope changes from positive to negative at x=0, indicating a relative maximum.
