For a continuous and differentiable function ff defined on the closed interval [a,b][a,b], which of the following sets of points must be examined to locate its absolute maximum and minimum values? a) Only the points where f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 in (a,b)(a,b) b) All points where f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 or f′(x)f'(x) is undefined in (a,b)(a,b) c) All points where f′(x)=0f'(x)=0 or f′(x)f'(x) is undefined in (a,b)(a,b), together with x=ax=a and x=bx=b d) All points where f′′(x)=0f''(x)=0 in (a,b)(a,b), together with x=ax=a and x=bx=b
