Special Notes:
o A function may attain its maximum and minimum value more than once. For example, the maximum
value of
( ) is 1 and it reaches this value many, many times.
o The extreme values often occur at the endpoint of the domain. Thats why its so important to check
the endpoints of an interval when doing a maximization/minimization problem!
o For a constant function, the maximum and minimum values are equal (in fact, all the values are equal).
] and ( )
Formal Statement: If a function is continuous on a closed interval [
( ), then for every
) so that
value of between ( ) and ( ), there exist at least one value of in the open interval (
( )
.
Translation: A continuous function takes on all the values between any two of its values.

Translation: If a function is continuous and differentiable, somewhere in the interval the tangent line must be
parallel to the secant line between the endpoints. In other words, the instantaneous rate of change is equal to
the average rate of change.
