Warm up Problems
Let f (x) = x3 – 3x + 1.
1) Find and classify all critical points.
2) Find all inflection points.
Graph of a Function, Part 2
Second Derivative Test
If p is a critical point of f (x) and f (p) < 0, then p is a local maximum.
If p is a critical point of f (x) and f (p) > 0, then p is a local minimum.
Ex. Find and classify all critical points of f (x) = x3 – 5x2 + 3x – 1.
Def. The absolute maximum (global max) value of a function on an interval is the largest value that the function attains.
Def. The absolute minimum (global min) value of a function on an interval is the smallest value that the function attains.
Thm. The absolute max. and min. will occur at one of the following:
• the point p where f (p) = 0
• the point p where f (p) is undef.
• an endpoint of the interval
critical points
Ex. Find the absolute max. and min. values of f (x) = 3x5 – 5x3 – 1 on .4

Ex. Find the x-coordinate of all local max./min. and absolute max./min. of f (x) = x2 for -2 ≤ x ≤ 0 by graphing.
What about open intervals?
Ex. Find the x-coordinate of the absolute minimum of f (x) on [0,5]. Justify your answer.
