Integrated Publishing: Maximum and Minimum Points

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...

It is critical to find all the extreme points. Pupils analyze graphs in the presentation to determine whether there are points that are either maximums and minimums. Using derivatives, learners find out how to find critical points from...

Locate the maximum and minimum point on a quadratic function (parabola) and then take a quiz to assess learning.

In this calculus worksheet, students are given functions and values to derive using the functions. They are asked to find the maximum, minimum and point of inflection. There are 28 questions.

What is the highest point of an upside down parabola called? It's called the maximum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

What is the lowest point of a 'U' shaped parabola called? It's called the minimum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

What is the highest point of an upside-down parabola called? It's called the maximum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

What is the lowest point of a 'U' shaped parabola called? It's called the minimum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.

This math tutorial shows the relationship of a slope to a straight line and how to write equations in point-slope or slope-intercept form.

Given the graph of a function, find all of its relative maximum and minimum points. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
