Finding Absolute Maximum and Minimum Values - Absolute Extrema

This calculus video tutorial explains how to find the absolute maximum and minimum values of a function on a closed interval. Tto find the absolute extrema, you need to find the relative extrema by finding the first derivative of the function and the critical numbers. Plot the critical numbers on a number line to create sign chart. Using the sign chart and the first derivative test, determine what type of relative extrema is present - if it's a relative maximum or a relative minimum. Next, place the critical numbers and the endpoints of the closed interval into an x y data table and compare the y values. The absolute maximum contains highest y value and the absolute minimum has the lowest y value.

I'd literally give my first born child to you that's how much I appreciate your videos

[georgina]

I always find myself here hours before an exam. You saved my life a couple of times. Pls don't ever stop making tutorials. 😭💖

[BgDuck]

You are literally the best. You’re better than my cal professor

[shafasiddiqua]

In time of panic, your lectures have literally saved my exams. Love your explanations!

[juanmartingomez]

I am so grateful. I've been watching you since 9th grade and you never fail to clarify EVERYTHING. You are the sole reason I have a 4.0. I am truly grateful for your work.

[johnnybaboon]

He is always here saving my degree. Love you Man <3

You're my favorite math tutor on YouTube. Whenever I have an issue or need help, you're the first person I go to. Your explanations are so straightforward yet thorough. You even explain basic concepts that we've forgotten. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you that I logged into my YouTube to comment. As a late 20s guy returning to school, I wouldn't be doing as well as I am in calculus without you. Thank you so much

[donuts]

just wanna say, i have my calc final tomorrow and thank you for helping me pass my calc class you've been the goat. better than any lecture my professor has given.

[acsas]

One of the most straightforward and informative videos out there on this topic. Very helpful thank you!

[georgesadler]

MR. Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you once again for another excellent review of Absolute Extrema, which is part of Calculus One. I really understand this video from start to finish. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

You get this often and you deserve every bit of it, but I am incredibly grateful to you and all of this work you have put into providing a comprehensive selection of subjects, filled with relevant and informative examples, all explained simply and concisely. You have helped fill so many gaps in my understanding of precal, cal, and physics. Last year I began choosing your channel over Khan Academy. During my online calculus course, I went to you instead of useless lectures done by a hard-working—yes, but aloof—professor whose presentation of the material I just couldn’t understand. Thank you. Thank you for helping me keep my 4.0 so far.

[Randude]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was so confused on my homework between the difference of absolute and relative values.

[desi]

thank you so much I learn more from you in minutes than I do in my hour and a half calculus class. five minutes in I now know how to complete the rest of my homework !!! I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me.

[zoeibraj]

all i had to watch was 6 minutes of this to completely understand my homework. thank you <3

[nainaeditz]

I wish I would have taken all lectures from here not just one day before the exam, Sir your teaching is awesome .Love it, whole semester passed and i couldnot learn it in my class .

[gokul]

Man who r u man!!!! After knowing the concept u think about the opposite mind and understand thier mind just teach them practically just awesome

[nethulyasooriarachchi]

This is the only channel with every topic coverd under an hour or less <3

[ahmetsamicemek]

I was struggling with my HW. Your video made things clear. Thank you so much!

[woodie]

you explain the concepts in such a short and concise manner that is easily understood it just leaves me speechless. Considering all these comments I doubt I was the only person you help through your amazing videos, so behalf of every viewer I thank you a million times over!

[ariz]

finally someone who can give a clear simple explanation
