What is extrema in mathematics?

An extrema is all of the local and absolute maximums and minimum values of a function.


How do you trace a curve in differential calculus?

To trace a curve using differential calculus, you use the fact that the first derivative of the function is the slope of the curve, and the second derivative is the slope of the first derivative. What this means is that the zeros (roots) of the first derivative give the extrema (max or min) or an inflection point of the function. Evaluating the first derivative function at either side of the zero will tell you whether it is a min/max or inflection point (i.e. if the first derivative is negative on the left of the zero and positive on the right, then the curve has a negative slope, then a min, then a positive slope). The second derivative will tell you if the curve is concave up or concave down by evaluating if the second derivative function is positive or negative before and after extrema.


What is the definition of relative extrema?

In mathematics, particularly in calculus, a stationary point is an input to a function where the derivative is zero (equivalently, the slope is zero): where the function "stops" increasing or decreasing (hence the name).

What is the point of differentiation?

Differentiation is used to find the slope of lines/graphs, tangents, velocity functions, acceleration functions, finding relative extrema, absolute extrema, and alot of applicable uses.


Do derivatives at local extrema need to have a certain value?

Yes, it has to be zero because the derivative must change sign. Same for minima.

How do you find the extreme values of x2lnx?

Taking the derivative: 2lnx+2, 2(lnx+1). Extrema occur at y'=0. 2(lnx+1)=0,lnx=-1 x=e^(-1)=1/e y=-2/e So the extrema occurs at (1/e,-2/e)


Can points of inflection and extrema be at the same point?

Yes, points of inflection and extrema can occur at the same point on a function. A point of inflection is where the concavity of the function changes, while an extremum is a point where the function reaches a local maximum or minimum. In certain cases, such as the function (y = x^4) at (x = 0), the point can be both an inflection point and a local extremum, as the concavity changes while still being a minimum. However, this is not common and often requires specific conditions.
