13. Maximum and Minimum
The point a is called the point of maximum of the function f(x).
In the figure, y = f(x) has maximum values at Q and S.
( ) ( )ƒ a > ƒ a+δIf and ( ) ( )ƒ a > ƒ a-δ for all small values of δ.
The point b is called the point of minimum of the function f(x).
In the figure, y = f(x) has minimum values at R and T.
( ) ( )ƒ b < ƒ b+δIf and ( ) ( )ƒ b < ƒ b-δ for all small values of δ.
Let ( )y = ƒ x be a function
14. Extreme Points
The points of maximum or minimum of a function
are called extreme points.
At these points, ( ) ( )ƒ x = 0, if ƒ x exists.′ ′

15. Critical Points
The points at which or at which
does not exist are called critical points.
( )ƒ x = 0′ ( )ƒ x′
A point of extremum must be one of the critical
points, however, there may exist a critical point,
which is not a point of extremum.
16. Theorem - 1
Let the function be continuous in some
interval containing x0 .
( )y = ƒ x
( )ƒ x >0′ ( )ƒ x <0′(i) If when x < x0 and When
x > x0 then f(x) has maximum value at x = x0
( )ƒ x <0′ ( )ƒ x >0′(ii) If when x < x0 and When
x > x0 ,then f(x) has minimum value at x = x0
17. Theorem - 2
