Determine the relative maximum and minimum on the graph

In summary, we discussed the given function and its derivative graph, and answered various questions related to critical points, intervals of increasing and decreasing functions, and absolute maximum and minimum points on the graph. We determined that the critical points are 4.5 and 13, and the intervals of increasing and decreasing functions are [0,4.5], (10,13], [4.5,10), and [13, -∞). The absolute maximum point is 4.5, and the absolute minimum point is 10. We also discussed the concept of relative maxima and minima and how they can be identified based on the value of the derivative at certain points.

Let's add the graph of $\color{red}f(x)$ at an arbitrary level. That is, let's pick $\color{red}f(0)=0$.
And let's assume that $\color{red}f(x)$ is continuous at $x=10$.

\begin{tikzpicture}[
declare function={
df1(\x) = 2*cos(3/11*360)-2*cos((\x+1)/11*360);
df2(\x) = 1.25-5/16*(\x-13)^2;
f1(\x) = 2*cos(3/11*360)*\x-2*(sin((\x+1)/11*360) - sin(1/11*360))*11/(2*pi);
f2(\x) = 1.25*(\x-10)-5/16*((\x-13)^3 + 27)/3+f1(10);
}]
%\draw[help lines] (-1,-3) grid (16,4);
\draw[-latex] (-1,0) -- (16,0);
\draw[-latex] (0,-3) -- (0,4);
\draw foreach \i in {1,...,15} { (\i,0.1) -- (\i,-0.1) node[below] {$\i$} };
% \draw foreach \i in {-2,...,2} { (0.1,\i) -- (-0.1,\i) node[ left ] {$\i$} };
\draw[domain=-1:10, variable=\x, thick, smooth] plot ({\x}, {df1(\x)}) (3, {df1(3)}) node[above left] {$f'(x)$};
\draw[domain=10:16, variable=\x, thick, smooth] plot ({\x}, {df2(\x)});
\filldraw[fill=black!5, thick] (10,{df1(10)}) circle (0.05) (10,{df2(10)}) circle (0.05);
\draw[domain=-1:10, variable=\x, red, thick, smooth] plot ({\x}, {f1(\x)}) (9, {f1(9)}) node[above right] {$f(x)$};;
\draw[domain=10:16, variable=\x, red, thick, smooth] plot ({\x}, {f2(\x)});
\end{tikzpicture}

Can we find those points and intervals now?

My answers for all of the question that I have done on my own is
  • 1.) 4.5,13
  • 2.) [0,4.5] , (10,13]
  • 3.) [4.5,10), [13, - ∞)
  • 4.) 4.5,13
  • 5.) 10
I want to check that I am doing it correct or not because I am not good at discontinuous graph
Can you please help me
Thank you in advice

1.) Find the critical point on the graph ?
  • 1.) 4.5,13

A critical point is a point in the domain of the function where the function is either not differentiable or the derivative is equal to zero.

That's not the case for x=4.5 or x=13 is it?
For which x-values is $f'(x)$ either zero or undefined?

  • 2.) [0,4.5] , (10,13]
  • 3.) [4.5,10), [13, - ∞)

A function is increasing if its derivative is greater than zero.
Where is $f'(x)$ greater than zero?

We can also look at the graph for $f(x)$ that I added.
Where is that graph increasing?

  • 4.) 4.5,13
  • 5.) 10

We have relative maxima and minima if $f'(x)=0$.
For which x-values is $f'(x)$ equal to zero?
Can we tell whether they correspond to maxima or minima?

FAQ: Determine the relative maximum and minimum on the graph

What is a relative maximum on a graph?

A relative maximum on a graph is the highest point on a curve within a certain interval. It is also known as a local maximum and is higher than all other points in its immediate vicinity, but not necessarily the highest point on the entire graph.

How is a relative maximum different from an absolute maximum?

A relative maximum is the highest point within a specific interval, while an absolute maximum is the highest point on the entire graph. A relative maximum is also referred to as a local maximum, while an absolute maximum is also known as a global maximum.

How can I determine the relative maximum on a graph?

To determine the relative maximum on a graph, you need to find the highest point within a specific interval. This can be done by visually inspecting the graph or by using calculus to find the critical points and then evaluating the function at those points to determine the relative maximum.

What is a relative minimum on a graph?

A relative minimum on a graph is the lowest point on a curve within a certain interval. It is also known as a local minimum and is lower than all other points in its immediate vicinity, but not necessarily the lowest point on the entire graph.

How is a relative minimum different from an absolute minimum?

A relative minimum is the lowest point within a specific interval, while an absolute minimum is the lowest point on the entire graph. A relative minimum is also referred to as a local minimum, while an absolute minimum is also known as a global minimum.
