    A continuous function on a closed, bounded interval must be bounded. Boundedness, in and of itself, does not ensure the existence of a maximum or minimum. We must also have a closed, bounded interval.

In this section, we look at how to use derivatives to find the largest and smallest values for a function.

Find the least upper bound (supremum) and greatest lower bound (infimum) of the following sets of real numbers, if they exist. (If one does not exist then say so.) Prove that b is an upper bound of S if and only if b is a lower bound of T.

(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.

If instead we are interested in absolute extreme values, we first decide whether we are considering the entire domain of the function or a particular interval. If we are working to find absolute extremes on a restricted interval, then we first identify all critical numbers of the function that lie in the interval
