These values are important because they identify horizontal tangent lines or corner points on the graph, which are the only possible locations at which a local maximum or local minimum can occur.

(Note that if f has an absolute extremum over an interval I at a point c that is not an endpoint of I, then f has a local extremum at c.)

It explains how the first and second derivative tests help identify increasing or decreasing intervals and concavity, which are key to determining the shape of the graph. The section also demonstrates how to apply these concepts to real-world problems, optimizing functions to find their maximum or minimum values.
