No, since the equation could be y = x3 (or something similar) which will have a point of inflection at (0,0), meaning there is no relative maximum/minimum, as the graph doesn't double back on itself
For those that are unfamiliar with a point of inflection

How do you find the minimum and maximum points of a function?
Set the first derivative of the function equal to zero, and solve for the variable.
How can you find the extremums in a function?
The general procedure is to find the function's derivative, and then solve for (derivative of the function) = 0. Each of these solutions may be a local maximum or minimum - or none. Further analysis is required. A local maximum or minimum may also occur at points where the derivative is undefined, as well as at the function's endpoints (assuming it is only defined for a certain range, for example, from 0 to 10).
How many points get taken off your credit report when credit is pulled?
Minimum 3 points - maximum 12 points.
What is the definition of the Minimum of a function in Alegbra?
A global minimum is a point where the function has its lowest value - nowhere else does the function have a lower value. A local minimum is a point where the function has its lowest value for a certain surrounding - no nearby points have a lower value.
What is a data point that is located away from most other points?
A maximum or a minimum - collectively known as an extremum.
