Preview only

f has global minimum endpoint (2, 1) and increases; g has global minimum endpoint (0, 4) and decreases. Both have 0 interior turns, and both extrema occur at domain endpoints.

f has global minimum endpoint (2, 1) and increases; g has global maximum endpoint (0, 4) and decreases. Both have 1 interior turn, and both extrema occur at domain endpoints.
