Graph of a Curve (contd) Increasing A function f is increasing on an open interval I if, for any x 1 and x 2 in I, with x 1 < x 2, we have f(x 1 ) < f(x 2 ). Decreasing A function f is decreasing on an open interval I if, for any x 1 and x 2 in I, with x 1 f(x 2 ). Constant A function f is constant on an open interval I if, for any x 1 and x 2 in I, we have f(x 1 ) = f(x 2 ). x y x1x1 x2x2 I f(x1)f(x1) f(x2)f(x2) y x x1x1 x2x2 I f(x1)f(x1) f(x2)f(x2) y x x1x1 x2x2 I f(x1)f(x1)f(x2)f(x2) Local (or Relative) Extrema A function f has a local maximum at x = x 0 if locally, f(x 0 ) is greater than all the surrounding values of f(x). We call this f(x 0 ) a local maximum of f. A function f has a local minimum at x = x 0 if locally, f(x 0 ) is less than all the surrounding values of f(x). We call this f(x 0 ) a local minimum of f. x1x1 x2x2 x3x3 f(x 3 ) is a _____________ f(x 1 ) is a ___________________________ f(x 2 ) is a ______________ Global (or Absolute) Extrema A function f has a global maximum at x = x 0 if f(x 0 ) is greater than or equal to all values of f(x). We call this f(x 0 ) the global maximum of f. A function f has a global minimum at x = x 0 if f(x 0 ) is less than or equal to all values of f(x). We call this f(x 0 ) the global minimum of f.
