Usually at the minimum or maximum of a function, one of the following conditions arises:
- The derivative is zero.
- The derivative is undefined.
- The point is at the end-points of the domain that is being considered (or of the naturally-defined domain, for example, zero for the square root).
This will give you "candidate points"; to find out whether each of these candidate points actually is a maximum or a minimum, additional analysis is required. For example, if the second derivative is positive, you have a minimum, if the second derivative is negative, you have a maximum - but if it is zero, it may be a maximum, a minimum, or neither.

What is the maximum or minimum point called?
A maximum or minimum is generally referred to as an extrema.
How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
What is another name for the maximum or minimum point of a quadratic graph?
Apex.
What is The turning point of a parabola?
the vertex, or very bottom point.I can also be called the maximum or minimum.
What does mean and range mean in mathematics?
I only know what mean is, so mean is the same thing to the average. * * * * * Range is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value. Range = Maximum - Minimum.
What is the extreme point called on a parabola?
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.

What are the maximum and minimum temperatures in Iraq?
in Iraq the temperature's maximum point is about 70 degrees and the minimum is about 0-10
How do you find the minimum or maximum of a function?
By taking the derivative of the function. At the maximum or minimum of a function, the derivative is zero, or doesn't exist. And end-point of the domain where the function is defined may also be a maximum or minimum.
How do you know if the vertex is maxinum or mininum?
If the arrows of the graph point down, then the vertex is a maximum because it is the greatest point on the graph. If the arrows point up, then the vertex is the minimum because it is the lowest point.
What is the possible maximum and minimum point of intersection for a paticular number of line?
With n lines, the maximum number is n*(n-1)/2. The minimum is 0.
Why there are two tests for checking maximum and minimum?
There are two tests involved in checking for maximum and minimum because, if you only checked for a value of zero for the first derivative, you would only know that the equation has zero slope at that point. You also need to check the second derivative to see if that point is a maximum, a minimum, or an inflection point.To be fully correct, you also need to understand the equation itself, because there may be more than one maxima or minima, and/or there may be a discontinuity. This is all part of the process of finding a maximum or minimum.
