Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Chapter 13, Problem 1RE

For Exercises 1-12 determine whether each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why.

1. A critical number c is a number in the domain of a function f for which f′(c) = 0 or f'′(c) does not exist.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RE

The given statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A critical number c is a number in the domain of a function f for which f′(c)=0 or f′(c) does not exist.

Calculation:

A function can have different shapes on a 2D plane.

The function rises or falls at some numbers from its domain.

At these numbers, the derivative of the function either become zero or does not exists.

The slope around these points is either negative or positive.

Hence, these numbers are called critical numbers as they help to decide whether the function increases or decreases.

Therefore, the statement is true.

Students have asked these similar questions
Consider the function  f(x) = (x − 4)/( x + 2) .                                                       Is x = −2 a critical number of f ? Why or why not?
So, to find a critical point, you would use f(x) and not f'(x)?
Find all the critical points of the function f(x) = { x^2 if x<1, x^3 if x≥1
