Maxima and Minima | Local vs Absolute | Critical Points Explained

In this lesson, we begin our study of extrema in Honors Calculus. We focus on the conceptual foundation: • The difference between maxima and minima • Local vs absolute extrema • Why endpoints of closed intervals are not considered local extrema (under our text’s definition) • How to find critical points This is a visual, intuition-building lesson that sets up the First Derivative Test and optimization problems to come. Understanding these ideas clearly now will make the rest of the unit much smoother. If this helped clarify extrema for you, consider liking and subscribing for more calculus content.
