• Review the methods for finding absolute maximum or minimum in a closed interval, and the First and Second Derivative tests. My notes are linked in Monday’s post

• Finish the WeBWorK “Extreme Values”. Make sure that you use the First Derivative Test when the problem asks for local maxima or local minima.

NOTE: There appears to be a bug in the scoring of problem #9, where it marks answers for the local max or local min incorrect if you include the absolute max or absolute min. THE SCORING IN WEBWORK IS WRONG. Please just enter the answer that you think is correct, ignore the scoring on the local max and local min parts, and I will score these by hand when the assignment closes.

• Do the WeBWorK “Extreme Values – First and Second Derivative Tests” making sure that you use the method that is called for in each problem!

There will be a Quiz on Wednesday based on one of the problems in the WeBWorK “Extreme Values”. It will ask you to find local maxima and local minima as well, so make sure that you understand how to use the First Derivative Test to do this!

Don’t forget, if you get stuck on a problem, you can post a question on Piazza. Make sure to give your question a good subject line and tell us the problem itself – we need this information in order to answer your question. And please only put one problem per posted question!
