Maximum and Minimum Values
Some of the most important applications of calculus are optimization problems, which find the optimal way of doing something. Meaning: find the maximum or minimum values of some function.
So what are maximum and minimum values?
Example: highest point on the graph of the function f shown is the point (3, 5) so the largest value off is f (3) = 5. Likewise, the smallest value is f (6) = 2.

Absolute Maximum and Minimum
The maximum and minimum values of f are called extreme values of f.

Local Maximum and Minimum
Something is true near c means that it is true on some open interval containing c.

Figure 2 shows the graph of a function f with several extrema:
At a : absolute minimum is f(a)
At b : local maximum is f(b)At c : local minimum is f(c)At d : absolute (also local) maximum is f(d)
At e : local minimum is f(e)

Maximum and Minimum Values
The following theorem gives conditions under which a
function is guaranteed to have extreme values.

Maximum and Minimum Values
The Extreme Value Theorem is illustrated in Figure 7.
Note that an extreme value can be taken on more than
once.

Maximum and Minimum Values
The Extreme Value Theorem says that a continuous function on a closed interval has a maximum value and a minimum value, but it does not tell us how to find these extreme values. We start by looking for local extreme values.
Figure 10 shows the graph of a function f with a local maximum at c and a local minimum at d.

Counter examples:
f’ doesn’t exist but there is a local min or max
f’ exists but there is no local min or max

Maximum and Minimum Values
To find an absolute maximum or minimum of a continuous function on a closed interval, we note that either it is local or it occurs at an endpoint of the interval.
Thus the following three-step procedure always works.
