Definition of Relative Extrema; If there is an open interval containing c on which f(c) is a maximum, then f(c) is called a relative maximum of f. If there is an open interval containing c on which f(c) is a minimum, then f(c) is called a relative minimum of f. Definition of Critical Number;

In mathematics, particularly in calculus, a stationary point is an input to a function where the derivative is zero (equivalently, the gradient is zero): where the function "stops" increasing or dec...

Finding relative extrema (sections 3.3-3.4 of L-H-E Calculus) ... Summary: To find relative maxima and minima, first find the critical points (where f′ is 0 or doesn’t exist). ... Theorem 3.9, the Second Derivative Test, helps you weed through critical points (possible extrema) to find actual extrema based on sign of f″:
