Given information
Function is continuous within it's domain and function has absolute maximum at , absolute minimum at , local maximum at and local minimum at .
Step-by-step explanation
As function is continuous within the domain but no information about it's differentiability is provided so, we will adopt simplest function which remains continuous within a domain which is linearly variable function or a straight line. As function has absolute minimum at , but we have to start from , therefore assume value of function at this point be , then value of function at can be taken as , now function has local maximum at therefore assume value of function at this point be , also function has local minimum at but here absolute minimum occurs at , which is also local minimum therefore assume value of function at be and finally function has absolute maximum at therefore take value of function at this point be 4.
