If you were given an equation and asked to find the relative minimum and maximum, would you graph the function or is there an algebraic way? I also know you can do it by graphing …

Extrema is the general name for maximum and minimum points. This video shows how to identify relative and absolute extrema in the graph of a function.

If we find a critical point, where the derivative is 0, or the derivative is undefined, is that going to be a maximum or minimum point? And to think about that, let's imagine this point right over here.

In other words, the x and y directions disagree over whether this input should be a maximum or a minimum point. So even though (0, 0) is a stable point, and is not an inflection point, it cannot …

Through hands-on examples, learners practice creating 2- and 3-digit numbers, compare them, and explore the meaning of minimum and maximum. It’s a simple yet powerful way to build …

Given the graph of a function, find all of its relative maximum and minimum points.

So what we're going to try to do this video is try to come up with some criteria, especially involving the derivative of the function around x equals a, to figure out if it is a minimum or a maximum …

Review how we use differential calculus to find relative extremum (minimum and maximum) points.
