Maxima and minima are key concepts in calculus, helping us find the highest and lowest points of functions. These extrema can be absolute or local, and we use critical points to find them. Understanding these ideas is crucial for solving real-world problems.
The closed interval method is a powerful tool for finding extrema on a specific range. By evaluating critical points and endpoints, we can determine absolute maxima and minima. This technique has wide-ranging applications in fields like economics, physics, and engineering.
