Local Maximums: Local maximums are points on a graph where a function reaches its highest value within a specific interval. They may not be as high as the absolute maximum but represent peaks within smaller regions.
End Behavior: End behavior refers to how a function behaves as x approaches positive or negative infinity. It helps determine if there is an absolute maximum or minimum.
Optimization Problems: Optimization problems involve finding extreme values (such as absolute maximum) based on certain constraints or conditions. These problems often require using calculus techniques to solve them effectively.
