Max/Min values of a function

Maximum Value- To find the maximum value of a function you must first enter the equation into the Y= on the calculator and press graph. Then you press 2nd Trace 4(maximum).  Then you go left of the point, press enter; right of the point, press enter; and then go to the middle press enter and the values will be on the bottom of the calculator. 
Relative Max/Min is where it is the lowest or highest points in a particular section of a graph.
Absolute Max/Min is the lowest or highest points over the entire domain of the graph.  There is no absolute maximum. 

 

 

 

 

no abs. value

~ An odd function can never have an Absolute Maximum or Minimum because it always passes thru at the root, it never bounces back. ~
