Answer

There exists an interval around the value $a=4$, such that $f(4)\geq f(x)$ for all x in that interval.

Work Step by Step

The function value $f(a)$ is a local maximum value of the function f if $f(a)\geq f(x)\quad$ for all x near a. In this case we also say that f has a local maximum at x=a. For this question, there exists an interval around the value $a=4$, such that $f(4)\geq f(x)$ for all x in that interval.
