Can some one explain to me the difference between the min & max and the local min & max? I'm trying to find this on this graph, but I have no idea how to distinguish which is which.
(Please, only respond if you know how to help. Thank you.)

The local min/max occur at turning points where the slope is zero.
On a graph they appear as the top of a hill or bottom of a dip.

For your example the local max occurs at x = -5 and local min at x=5.
