Maxima and Minima Examples: Example 1: Find the points of maxima and minima of a function: y = 2x3 –3x2 + 6 Solution Given function: y = 2x3 –3x2 + 6 Using the second order derivative test to find a function’s maximum and minimum: Taking the first derivative of: y = 2x3 –...
For further examples of this method together with most other geometrical problems on maxima and minima of any interest or importance the reader may consult such a book as J. W. Russell's A Sequel to Elementary Geometry (Oxford, 1907). The method of the differential calculus is theotetically...
Max-Min Theorem: if f is continuous on [a, b], then f has at least one maximum and one minimum on [a,b] Here are some examples of continuous functions on [a,b] and their maxima and minima: There are allowed to be multiple minima, as long as there is at least one. Note that...
In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to calculate maxima and minima by group in the Python programming language.The article will contain two examples for the computation of maxima and minima by group. To be more specific, the page is structured as follows:...

One of the most important practical uses of higher mathematics is finding minima and maxima. This lesson will describe different ways to determine the maxima and minima of a function and give some real world examples. What Are Minima and Maxima? When you graph a function, the minimum value ...
I put one of the examples through my own general plane frame reanalysis software (Jenkins, 2001, 2002, 2003a, 2003b) in which a network (not actually a neural network but in the style of one) is used iteratively to update the analysis each time a design change is made. When the ...
ExamplesStep 1 − find the local minima and maxima of f(x¯)=∣∣x2−4∣∣f(x¯)=|x2−4|Solution −From the graph of the above function, it is clear that the local minima occurs at x=±2x=±2 and local maxima at x=0x=0...
