Back

Extrema refer to the maximum and minimum values of a function. A maximum is the highest point in a given interval, while a minimum is the lowest point.

Front

How do you find the maximum and minimum values of a function?

Back

To find extrema, use calculus techniques such as finding the derivative of the function, setting it to zero, and solving for critical points. Then, evaluate the function at these points and endpoints.
