Directions: Sketch the graph of f(x) by hand and find the local and
absolute max and minimum values.
a.) f ( x )=2 x
b . f ( x )=4 ln ( x ) 5
critical numbers=
Definition: If a graph is not provided it is important to see that the
critical number of some function f is the number (in the domain of f )
where the derivative of the function equals zero or where the
derivative does not exist.
