1. Local Max/Min

2. “Relative Extrema” M=0 Local max – (increasing to decreasing) Local Min – (decreasing to increasing) First derivative

3. Concavity

4. Concave up Concave down Second derivative

5. Inflection Points

6. Concave up to concave down Concave down to concave up Change in concavity

7. Critical Numbers

8. Set derivative equal to zero and solve for x Critical numbers that are undefined are not locals or inflection points

9. Absolute Max/Min

10. Absolute Extrema Table of values Max: highest point in an interval Min: lowest point in an interval
