Question

What is the approximate value of a local maximum for the polynomial?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is a topic of Mathematical Analysis.

⇒ Maxima is the plural of Maximum. It is also known as local maximum of a function. It is the largest value of a polynomial or in general a function.

⇒ Minima is the plural of Minimum. It is also known as local minimum of a function. It is the lowest value of a polynomial or in general a function.

Both of these are the Relative Extreme values of a function. We also call these values as Relative Extrema.

We can find these values by

• Graph
• Mathematical calculation

If the polynomial is given, we just need to Differentiate it.

And then using the 1st Derivative rule and 2nd Derivative rule, we can find its local maximum.
