3 4. Find the extrema for: ( x) f = 2 x 2 x 9.

4 Popper10 1. Find the values of x that give relative extrema for the function whose derivative is f' ( ) = ( + ) 2 ( ) A) Local maximum: x = 1 Local minimum: x = 1 B) Local maxima: x = 1, 3 Local minimum: x = 1 C) Local minimum: x = 2 D) Local maximum: x = 1 Local minimum: x = 2 E) None of these x x 1 x 2.

5 2. Let f (x) be a polynomial function with x = 3 as a critical number. If f (3)> 0, then which of the following statements is true? A) (3, f (3)) is a relative minimum B) (3, f (3)) is a zero C) (3, f (3)) is a relative maximum D) f (x) is always increasing E) none of these

6 What is the difference between the first and second derivative test? What are we finding with these tests?

7 Absolute Extreme Values Let c be a point in the domain of f; c may be an interior point or an endpoint. We say that f has an absolute minimum at c if f ( x) f ( c) for all x in the domain of f, f has an absolute maximum at c if f ( x) f ( c) for all x in the domain of f. Finding the absolute minimum and maximum values of a continuous function defined on a closed bounded interval [ a,b ]: 1. Find the critical points for f in the interval ( a,b ). 2. Evaluate the function at each of these critical points and at the endpoints. 3. The smallest of these computed values is the absolute minimum value, and the largest is the absolute maximum value of f.

8 Ex 1: Find the locations of all absolute minima and maxima for 3 2 x x 3x 9x 4 on the interval [ 6, 3]. ( ) f = + +

12 4. Find the coordinates of the absolute max and/or absolute min of f on the interval [ 1, 2]. ( x) f = 20 ( 2 x + 1) A) Max: (0, 20) Min: None B) Max: ( 1, 10) Min: (2, 4) C) Max: None Min: None D) Max: (0, 20) Min: (2, 4)
