Using the Candidates Test to Determine Absolute (Global) Extrema
Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers finding absolute extrema of a function using the Candidates Test. It explains the steps of the test: finding critical points, evaluating the function at these points and the interval endpoints, and comparing the resulting values. The guide includes a walkthrough example and practice problems with solutions.
