LESSON 4.1 MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM VALUES Definition of Absolute Etrema Let f be defined on an interval I containing c. 1. () f c is the Absolute Minimum of f on I if f ( c) f ( ) in I f c is the Absolute Maimum of f on I if f ( c) f ( ) in I. () Definition of Local (Relative) Etrema The Etreme Value Theorem - Etreme values or Etrema are the minimum and maimum of a function on an interval - On an interval: Maimum ABSOLUTE Mininum ABSOLUTE ma min 1. A function f has a Local Maimum at c if f ( c) f ( ) when is near c.. A function f has a Local Minimum at c if f ( c) f ( ) when is near c. If f is continuous on a closed interval ab,, then f has both a minimum and a maimum on the interval. In other words: If f is defined at every c between a and b, and at the endpoints, then f must have the lowest and the highest points on the graph over ab,. f c to be an f c must eist Note: In order for () etreme value, () (or must be defined). Note: Local (Relative) etrema are hills or valleys of the graph. Eamples: Sketch the graph of a function f that is continuous on 1, 5 and has the given properties. 1. AMin at, Ama at 3, LMin at 4.

Fermat s Theorem If f has a local maimum or minimum at c, and if f '( c ) eists, then f '( c) 0. Definition of a Critical Number A critical number of a function f is a number c in the domain of f such that either f '( c) 0 or f '( c ) does not eist. Caution: y f but 3 has '(0) 0 0, 0 is not a local etremum. f '( c) 0 refers to the points with horizontal tangent lines. The converse of Fermat s is false. If f has a local maimum or minimum at c, then c is a critical number of f. Guidelines for Finding ABSOLUTE EXTREMA on a Closed Interval To find the etrema of a continuous function f on a closed interval ab,, use the following steps. 1. Find the critical numbers of f in ab,.. Evaluate f at each critical number in ab,. 3. Evaluate f at each endpoint ab,. 4. The least of these values is the minimum. The greatest is the maimum.

LESSON 4.3 HOW DERIVATIVES AFFECT THE SHAPE OF GRAPH Definition of Increasing and Decreasing Functions A function f is increasing on an interval if for any two numbers 1 and in the interval, f ( ) f ( ) 1 1 and decreasing when f ( ) f ( ) 1 1 Decreasing:, a Negative derivative: f '( ) 0 Constant: ab, Zero derivative: f '( ) 0 Increasing: b, Positive derivative: f '( ) 0 Test for Increasing and Decreasing Functions Let f be a function that is continuous on the closed interval ab, and differentiable on the interval ab, 1. f '( ) 0 in a, b f is increasing on,. f '( ) 0 in a, b f is decreasing on, 3. f '( ) 0 in a, b f is constant on ab,. ab. ab. The First Derivative Test (to find Local Etrema, not Absolute Etrema) Let c be a critical number of a function f that is continuous on an open interval I containing c. If f is differentiable on the interval, ecept possibly at c, then f() c can be classified as follows. 1. If f '( ) c, then f() c is a RELATIVE MINIMUM of f. changes from negative to positive at. If f '( ) c, then f() c is a RELATIVE MAXIMUM of f. changes from positive to negative at 3. If f '( ) does not change sign at c, then f() c is neither a relative minimum nor relative maimum.
