• A) absolute maximum is \(- \frac { 2 } { 25 }\) at \(x = 5\); absolute minimum is \(- 8\) at \(x = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\)
• B) absolute maximum is \(- \frac { 2 } { 25 }\) at \(x = 5\); absolute minimum is \(- 8\) at \(x = - \frac { 1 } { 2 }\)
• C) absolute maximum is \(\frac { 2 } { 25 }\) at \(x = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\); absolute minimum is \(- 8\) at \(x = 5\)
• D) absolute maximum is \(- \frac { 2 } { 25 }\) at \(x = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\); absolute minimum is \(- 8\) at \(x = - 5\)
