Absolute vs Relative Maxima and Minima
The difference between absolute and relative maxima and Minima is tabulated below:
Absolute Maxima and Minima |
Relative Maxima and Minima |
---|---|
It is also called as global maxima or global minima. | It is also called as local maxima or local minima. |
It is bounded by domain of the function. | It is not bounded by domain of the function. |
It is the highest or lowest point of the function. | It is the higher or lower among both neighbours. |
It is the global peak of the curve. | It is the local peak of the curve. |
Maxima and Minima in Calculus
Maxima and Minima in Calculus is an important application of derivatives. The Maxima and Minima of a function are the points that give the maximum and minimum values of the function within the given range. Maxima and minima are called the extremum points of a function.
This article explores the concept of maxima and minima. In addition to details about maxima and minima, we will also cover the types of maxima and minima, properties of Maxima and Minima, provide examples of maxima and minima, and discuss applications of Maxima and Minima.
