VOCABULARY4. Turning Points:
5. Extrema:
VOCABULARY4. Turning Points: Occur at the relative maxima or
minima; the point where the curve changes direction from up to down or vice versa
5. Extrema:
VOCABULARY4. Turning Points: Occur at the relative maxima or
minima; the point where the curve changes direction from up to down or vice versa
5. Extrema: The collective term for the relative maxima, relative minima, and turning points

EXAMPLE 4The table and graph represent the balance on
Maggie Brann’s savings account over a year. Use the table and graph to estimate the extrema for
the function. Then explain the extrema in the context of the situation.
