Warm-Up: December 4, 2012 • Find all of the x-values where f’(x)=0
Juniors… • Which class(es) are you currently planning on taking next year? • AP Calculus BC • AP Statistics • AP Physics
Extreme Values of Functions Section 4.1
Absolute (Global) Extrema • Let f be a function with domain D. • f(c) is the absolute maximum value on Diff for all x in D. • The highest y-value (including endpoints). • f(c) is the absolute minimum value on Diff for all x in D. • The lowest y-value (including endpoints). • Endpoints can only be included in closed interval domains.
Extreme Value Theorem • If f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], then f has both a maximum value and a minimum value on the interval.

Local (Relative) Extrema • Let c be an interior point of the domain of f. • f(c) is a local maximum value at ciff for all x in some open interval containing c. • The top of a hill. • f(c) is a local minimum value at ciff for all x in some open interval containing c. • The bottom of a valley.
More about Extrema • Local extrema are also called relative extrema. • Local extrema can also occur at endpoints. • Any absolute extremum is also a local extremum. • “Maximum” refers to an absolute maximum. • “Minimum” refers to an absolute minimum.

Warm-Up: December 5, 2012 • Find all of the x-values where f’(x)=0 or f’(x) fails to exist.
Local Extreme Value Theorem • If a function f has a local maximum or a local minimum at an interior point c of its domain, and if f’ exists at c, then
Critical Point • A point on the interior of the domain of a function at which f’=0 or f’ does not exist is a critical point of f.
Example 1 • Use analytic methods to find the extreme values of the function on the interval and where they occur.
Example 2 • Use analytic methods to find the extreme values of the function on the interval and where they occur.
