Maxima and minima
In this unit we show how differentiation can be used to find the maximum and minimum values of a function. Because the derivative provides information about

3 Application of Differentiation - 3.1 Maximum and Minimum Values
All of these max and mins (local or absolute) are called Extreme Values. Some functions can have an absolute max and no absolute min (or vice versa). There are

At the end of the last lecture we knew how to differentiate any polynomial function may be increasing

Absolute maxima are also local maxima etc. • Horizontal lines will have absolute maximum and minimim values equal: for example f(x) = 1 has absolute maximum
