Functions have many features that are useful in describing the behavior of models. In particular, we are often interested in where the function tops out (absolute maximum) or bottoms out (absolute minimum) and what goes on in between. In other words, what are the “extrema” of a function?

Module Outcomes:

- Interpret and communicate the concepts of rates of change and derivatives.
- Connect the graphical behavior, numerical patterns and symbolic representations of function and derivatives.
