Absolute Maxima and Minima
Definition:
f (c) is an absolute maximum of f if f (c) > f (x) for all x in the domain of f.
f (c) is an absolute minimum of f if f (c) < f (x) for all x in the domain of f.

Extreme Value Theorem
Theorem 1. (Extreme Value Theorem)
A function f that is continuous on a closed interval [a, b] has both an absolute maximum value and an absolute minimum value on that interval.

Finding Absolute Maximum and Minimum Values
Theorem 2. Absolute extrema (if they exist) must always occur at critical values or at end points.
a. Check to make sure f is continuous over [a, b] .
b. Find the critical values in the interval (a, b).
c. Evaluate f at the end points a and b and at the critical values found in step b.
d. The absolute maximum on [a, b] is the largest of the values found in step c.
e. The absolute minimum on [a, b] is the smallest of the values found in step c.

Example 2
Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum value of
on [–1, 7].
a. The function is continuous.
b. f ´(x) = 3x2 – 12x = 3x (x – 4). Critical values are 0 and 4.
c. f (–1) = –7, f (0) = 0, f (4) = –32, f (7) = 49
The absolute maximum is 49.
The absolute minimum is –32.

Second Derivative Test
Theorem 3. Let f be continuous on interval I with only one critical value c in I.
If f ´(c) = 0 and f ´´(c) > 0, then f (c) is the absolute minimum of f on I.
If f ´(c) = 0 and f ´´(c) < 0, then f (c) is the absolute maximum of f on I.

Find the local maximum and minimum values
of on [–1, 7].
a. f ´(x) = 3x2 – 12x = 3x (x – 4).
f ´´(x) = 6x – 12 = 6 (x – 2)
b. Critical values of 0 and 4.
f ´´(0) = –12, hence f (0) local maximum.
f ´´(4) = 12, hence f (4) local minimum.

Finding an Absolute Extremum on an Open Interval
Example: Find the absolute minimum value of
f (x) = x + 4/x on (0, ∞).
Solution:
The only critical value in the interval (0, ∞) is x = 2. Since f ´´(2) = 1 > 0, f (2) is the absolute minimum value of f on (0, ∞)

Summary
■ All continuous functions on closed and bounded intervals have absolute maximum and minimum values.
■ These absolute extrema will be found either at critical values or at end points of the intervals on which the function is defined.
■ Local maxima and minima may also be found using these methods.
