The extreme Value theorem If ƒ is continuous on a closed interval [ , ] ,
then ƒ attains both an absolute maximum value and an absolute minimum
value in [ , ]. That is, there are numbers 1 and 2 in [ , ] with
ƒ( 1) = , ƒ( 2) = , and ≤ ƒ( ) ≤ for every other in [ , ].

Finding extrema by using first derivative:
The First Derivative theorem for Local extreme values
If ƒ has a local maximum or minimum value at an interior point c
of its domain, and if ′is defined at , then
′( ) = 0.
Definition
An interior point of the domain of a function ƒ where ′ is zero
or undefined is a critical point of .
