Definition 5.2.1
• A function f is said to have a relative maximum at x0 if there is an open interval containing x0 on which f(x0) > f(x) for all x in the interval. Similarly, f is said to have a relative minimum at x0 if there is an open interval containing x0 on which f(x0) is the smallest value, that is, f(x0) < f(x) for all x in the interval

Definition 5.2.1
• A function f is said to have a relative maximum at x0 if there is an open interval containing x0 on which f(x0) > f(x) for all x in the interval. Similarly, f is said to have a relative minimum at x0 if there is an open interval containing x0 on which f(x0) is the smallest value, that is, f(x0) < f(x) for all x in the interval. If f has either a relative maximum or a relative minimum at x0 , then f is said to have a relative extremum at x0.

Example 1
• f(x) = x2 has a relative min at x = 0 but no max.

Example 1
• f(x) = x2 has a relative min at x = 0 but no max.• f(x) = x3 has no relative extrema.

Example 1
• f(x) = x2 has a relative min at x = 0 but no max.• f(x) = x3 has no relative extrema.• f(x) = x3 – 3x + 3 has a relative max at x = -1 and a
relative min at x = 1.

Example 1
• f(x) = x2 has a relative min at x = 0 but no max.• f(x) = x3 has no relative extrema.• f(x) = x3 – 3x + 3 has a relative max at x = -1 and a
relative min at x = 1.• f(x) = x2/3 has a relative min at x = 0 but no max.

Critical Points/Stationary Points
• The relative extrema for the four functions we just saw occur at points where the graphs of the function have a horizontal tangent or at points of non-differentiability.
• We define a critical point for a function f to be a point in the domain of f at which there is either a horizontal tangent or a point of non-diff.
• More specifically, we call the points where there is a horizontal tangent a stationary point.
![Page 9: Relative Extrema: Graphing Polynomials](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5681446f550346895db10142/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Theorem 5.2.2
• Suppose that f is a function defined on an open interval containing the point x0. If f has a relative extremum at x = x0, then x = x0 is a critical point of f; that is, either f /(x0) = 0 or f is nondifferentiable at x0.

Example 2
• Find all critical points of f(x) = x3 – 3x + 1. State if it is a stationary point.
![Page 11: Relative Extrema: Graphing Polynomials](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5681446f550346895db10142/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example 2
• Find all critical points of f(x) = x3 – 3x + 1. State if it is a stationary point.
• f /(x) = 3x2 – 3 = 3(x + 1)(x – 1)• The critical points occur at • x = 1 and x = -1 and they are• both stationary points.
![Page 12: Relative Extrema: Graphing Polynomials](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5681446f550346895db10142/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example 3
• Find all critical points of f(x) = 3x5/3 – 15x2/3. State if it is a stationary point.
![Page 13: Relative Extrema: Graphing Polynomials](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5681446f550346895db10142/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example 3
• Find all critical points of f(x) = 3x5/3 – 15x2/3. State if it is a stationary point.
• f /(x) = 5x2/3- 10x-1/3
• If we were factoring• x4 – 3x2, we would factor out the smallest power of x, that is x2. We will do the same for this. The smallest power of x is x-1/3.

Example 3
• Find all critical points of f(x) = 3x5/3 – 15x2/3. State if it is a stationary point.
• f /(x) = 5x2/3- 10x-1/3
= 5x-1/3(x – 2)• x = 0 is a point of non-diff, • so it is a critical point, • and x = 2 is a zero of the • first derivative, so it is • a stationary point.

First Derivative Test
• We have established that a relative max/min must occur at a critical point. But every critical point is not necessarily a relative max/min. Lets look at some different graphs.

First Derivative Test
• A function has a relative extremum at those critical points where f / changes sign.
• Theorem 5.2.3 (First Derivative Test)a) If f /(x) has a critical point at x and the first
derivative changes sign from positive to negative at x, there is a relative max at x.
b) If f /(x) has a critical point at x and the first derivative changes sign from negative to positive at x, there is a relative min at x.

Example 4
• We looked at f(x) = 3x5/3 – 15x2/3 in example 3. Lets do a sign analysis to see if the critical points are relative extremum.

Second Derivative Test
• We have another way to determine if a critical point is a relative max or min. We know that the second derivative tells us about concavity. If a function is concave up at a critical point, that would be a minimum. If a function is concave down at a critical point, that would be a maximum.

Second Derivative Test
• Theorem 5.2.4 (Second Derivative Test)• Suppose that f is twice differentiable at the point x.a) If f /(x) = 0 and f //(x) > 0, then f has a relative
minimum at x.b) If f /(x) = 0 and f //(x) < 0, then f has a relative
maximum at x.c) If f /(x) = 0 and f //(x) = 0, then the test is
inconclusive. There could be a max, a min, or neither at x.

Multiplicity
• Roots of different multiplicity look different on a graph. The most common that we will deal with are single, double, and triple roots. In general, odd roots will have a sign change and cross the x-axis and even roots will not have a sign change and will not cross the x-axis.
