What are local extrema in a graph?

Back

Local extrema are points in a function where the function reaches a local maximum or minimum value. A local maximum is higher than all nearby points, while a local minimum is lower than all nearby points.

Front

How do you find the number of extrema in a polynomial function?

Back

The number of extrema can be found by analyzing the first derivative of the function. The critical points, where the first derivative is zero or undefined, indicate potential maxima and minima.

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial function?

Back

The degree of a polynomial function is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. It determines the shape and number of roots of the graph.

Front

What is a local maximum?

Back

A local maximum is a point on the graph of a function where the function value is greater than the values of the function at nearby points.

Front

What is a local minimum?

Back

A local minimum is a point on the graph of a function where the function value is less than the values of the function at nearby points.
