Find out how to find relative minimums and maximums of the typical polynomial.

For this activity, young scholars follow in Galileo's footsteps as they examine the nature of sunspot cycles, define solar minimum and solar maximum, and graph data for a solar cycle. Then they will predict the next solar maximum and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers finding the minimum(s), maximum(s), end behavior, domain, and range of a polynomial graph. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice,...

This lesson explores graphs of polynomial equations including how to find the maximum and minimum y-values on a polynomial function.

This site from the Richland Community College provides graphs of Functions offers loose definitions of many terms relative to the graphing of functions.

This site provides a portion of a textbook that explores increasing and decreasing functions. Students are provided examples and then have practice problems they can attempt to master the concept.

Given the graph of a function, find all of its relative maximum and minimum points. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students analyze different networks to determine the maximum flow rate of each network. This is done in the context of power plants supplying the community with electricity....

In Spanish. Interactive activities associating data tables with their algebraic graph

Given the graph of a function, find its absolute maximum and minimum points. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Examine one-variable data analysis through the creation and exploration of a birth place data set. Graphing calculators are used to analyze the data through mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, stem-and-leaf plots and box-and-whisker...

This set contains questions about graphs of V - shaped absolute value functions. Students are asked to determine maximum and minimum values, state whether the graph is opening up or down, and solve absolute value inequalities.

In this activity, students use linear programming to solve problems involving maximum and minimum values. They use the Inequality Graphing application to solve linear programming problems.

Students use a graphing calculator to find maximum and minimum values for area and perimeter problems.

Students use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and learn the usefulness of them. Students identify the five summary statistical values of data sets - minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.

Students describe graphs and explore range, measures of central tendency, and distribution in this interactive web lesson.

Given the graph of a function, find its absolute maximum and minimum points.

In Spanish. In depth explanations of functions at an advanced level. Includes topics such as concavity, points of inflection and relative maximums and minimums. A great resource for the Spanish speaking student to keep up in the English...

Given the graph of a function, find all of its relative maximum and minimum points.

In Spanish. Apply your Calculus knowledge using interactive activities to solve optimization problems.

This online tutorial offers a comprehensive introduction to translating and stretching graphs, and what this implies about the function. Includes lots of pictures and examples.

Find absolute minimum/maximum points of continuous functions over their entire domain.

This lesson has students using clickers to generate data for demand and supply curves. It asks students to give numerical values for their maximum willingness to pay for something and their minimum willingness to accept for something....
