Answer

A labeled graph of a function that satisfies the hypothesis of the Extreme Value Theorem is


1Step 1. Given Information.

The Extreme Value Theorem states that if f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], then there exist values M and m in the interval [a, bsuch that f(M) is the maximum value of f(x) on [a, b] and f(m) is the minimum value of f(x) on [a, b].

The graph is
