HELP! URGENT! Can somebody explain me quickly maxima/minima/critical/stationary points, absolute maximum/minimum value please?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Absolute maximum is the Highest point on the graph
Absolute minimum is the lowest point on the graph
maxima and minima are the largest and smallest value that the function takes at a point either within a given neighborhood. 
critical point is where no phase boundaries exist (the point of intersection of the boundaries)
stationary point is where the slope of the graph equals zero or parallel to the x-axis
