The Extreme Value Theorem
Finding the critical numbers of a function can be extreme. The activity introduces the Extreme Value Theorem to the class with a graph. Pupils then have an opportunity to practice determining the values using an algebraic function.
Curated OER
Challenge Discussion Sheet 6
Students are challenged to determine values that are guaranteed by the mean value theorem. They sketch the graph of a function and show that it satisfies the conditions of the mean value theorem over a given interval. Students determine...
