@Hero How do you find the maximum and minimum value of a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find minimum and maximum value of a function you need to find its second derivative known as d^2y/dx^2 If it is >0 than its minimum value in case it is <0 than its maximum value

How do you know what values you plug in to the second derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where do you get those from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first take the first derivative and equal it to =0 thats the turning point so your parabola turns here when you equal the derivative to zero you will get your x now differentiate the terms again and put this x in the second derivative .
