This study guide covers local and global extrema, focusing on the identification and classification of critical points. It explains the different types of critical points: local minimums and maximums, points of inflection, and points where the derivative is undefined. Examples of finding critical points for polynomial and root functions are provided, along with practice questions and exam strategies.

Question 1 of 10
What's the difference between a local and a global maximum? 🤔
A local maximum is always the highest point on the entire graph
A global maximum is the highest point within a specific interval
A global maximum is the absolute highest point on the entire graph, while a local maximum is a peak within a specific interval
They are the same thing
