Maxima and Minima On a Closed Interval

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Close the chapter on extrema on a closed interval. Watching an informative video provides scholars with an opportunity to learn about extrema. Specifically, they see how to find the global maxima and minima on a closed interval by first determining the critical points and then evaluating the function at the critical points and endpoints.
