In this math instructional activity, students seek to find the relative maximum and minimum values of surfaces in three dimensional space for the function.

  Students test for relative extrema.  In this Calculus lesson, 12th graders investigate the relative extrema of a function and sketch the curve from the given information without the use of a calculator.  

Hotmath provides 25 practice problems dealing with derivative applications. Each of the practice problems include a step-by-step guide.

Students learn about applications of derivatives. Topics include maxima and minima. The tutorial explores the calculus concepts through notes and examples. A chapter quiz, review exercises, and chapter summary are included.

This CoolMath resource will help students find relative extrema.
