Question #da337

Answer 1

Yes, it can.

Explanation:

Here is an example:

graph{1/4(x^4-4x^3+12x) [-5.03, 7.46, -3.266, 2.974]}

There is a local minimum that is also the absolute minimum.

At about `x=-0.879` the value of the function is about `-1.8086`.

That is both a local and an absolute minimum.
