Document Summary

If x=c is not in the domain, then there are not critical points. If f"(x) is undefined, there is also a critical point. If local maximum at x=c, there will be a critical point at x=c. Always throw away points not in interval. Absolute extreme occurs at x=c if f > f(x) for every x. You must check if function is concave up from one side and concave down from the other. If there is an inflection point at x=c, then f (x)=0 or f (c) is undefined. Suppose f(x) has cp: there is a local max at x=c if concave down so f (x) > 0, there is a local minimum if p (x) > 0. 3 methods for validating the presence of absolute extrema: your function is a simple function like a parabola. A>0 (absolute min: use extreme value theorem. F(x) has an absolute maximum and minimum: thm not in book.
