Problem

Consider the function g(x)=25−x2g(x)=\sqrt{25-x^{2}} defined on the closed interval [−5,5][-5,5]. a. (i) State the domain of gg and identify the endpoints of the interval under consideration. b. (ii) Determine whether there exist any points in (−5,5)(-5,5) at which g′(x)=0g'(x)=0. Justify your answer without performing explicit derivative calculations. c. (iii) Using clear reasoning, identify the points in [−5,5][-5,5] where gg attains its absolute maximum and absolute minimum values. State these maximum and minimum values.
