Definition: Maximum and Minimum of a function\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. A function \"f\" has a maximum at \"x=a\" if \"f%28a%29%3E=f%28x%29\" for all \"x\" in the domain of \"f\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. A function \"f\" has a minimum at \"x=a\" if \"f%28a%29%3C=f%28x%29\" for all \"x\" in the domain of \"f\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The values of the function for these x-values are called extreme values or extrema. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+2x%5E2+-9x\" here you have a parabola \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the least or greatest value of the parabola could be found at the vertex of the parabola (on the axis of symmetry \"x=-b%2F2a\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+2x%5E2+-9x\"=> \"a=2\" \"b=+-9\"=>minimum is at \"x=-b%2F2a\"=>\"x=-%28-9%29%2F%282%2A2%29\"=>\"x=9%2F4\"=>\"x=2.25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or, find it using derivative:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f\"'\"%28x%29+=+4x+-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0=+4x+-9\"=>\"4x=9\"=>\"x=9%2F4\"\r
