  (a) max: None; min: -5

  (b) max: 5; min: None

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The upward pointing arrow on the end of the graphed curve tells you that the graph extends upward indefinitely. There is no absolute maximum value.

The solid dot at (-4, -5) is the lowest point on the graph. That tells you the absolute minimum is -5.

b) The solid dot at (-4, 5) is the highest point on the graph. That tells you the absolute maximum is 5.

The open dot at (3, -5) is the lowest point on the graph. This means values of the function can be arbitrarily close to -5, but -5 is not one of them. There is no absolute minimum value.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
