absolute extrema
[absolute extrema|absolute extrema] is an idea useful in determining where absolute extrema occur.
Definition
absolute extrema is an idea useful in determining where absolute extrema occur. Many functions still have at least one absolute extrema, even if the domain is not closed or the domain is unbounded.
Mechanism
absolute extrema Theorem 4.3 identifies the location of absolute extrema for continuous functions over closed intervals. It states that if a function is continuous on a closed, bounded interval, then its absolute extrema occur at specific points within that interval.
Effects
absolute extrema This idea is useful in determining where absolute extrema occur. The result is summarized in the following theorem.
