I'll make this really quick and
simple: The
absolute max is the
highest point.
The absolute
min is the lowest
point.
Check it out:
f
has an absolute max of
2
at x
=
2.
(This is also a relative max!)
f
has an absolute min of
-2
at x
=
-3.
(This cannot be a relative min,
since it doesn't
have points on
BOTH sides to compare it to.)

Endpoints cannot be relative extrema! |

Endpoints CAN be absolute extrema! |
