Absolute Maximum and Minimum

You can learn to graph as well as a calculator using calculus. The lesson introduces using derivatives to find critical points needed to graph polynomials. Pupils learn to find local maximums and minimums and intervals of increase...

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II activity makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process of...

What is absolute value? What is an absolute value function? Emerging mathematicians solve equations containing variables inside an absolute value sign.  They graph each function on a coordinate plane and identify the maximum and...

In this graphs worksheet, students solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they determine the range of the function of the graph shown and write in interval notation. Then, students find the domain of the function in the...

Absolutely! Find the global maximum and minimums. Pupils watch a video showing how to find the absolute maximums and minimums of a function on an interval by testing critical points. The learners see how to determine whether a critical...

One of the strongest tools an algebra learner develops is the ability to quickly and accurately graph almost any given function. Often doing this quickly and accurately requires rigid transformations to a parent function,...

Viewers explore the meaning of absolute maximum and minimum values for a trigonometric function within a given interval with a video that shows how to determine the critical values within the interval.The instructor then explains how to...

Given eight functions containing absolute value elements, choose whether each is differentiable or non-differentiable. At the conclusion of the exercises, the site returns a score which helps judge understanding of the topic.

Given eight trigonometric functions containing absolute value elements, choose whether each is differentiable or non-differentiable. At the conclusion of the exercises, the site returns a score which helps judge understanding of the topic.

This algebra lesson explains how to find the absolute maximums and minimums (extrema) of a polynomial.
