Lesson: Optimization: Applications on Extreme Values Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to apply derivatives to real-world problems to find the maximum and the minimum values of a function under certain conditions.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

express a given real-world problem as a function that must be optimized,
find the absolute extrema (minimum and/or maximum) of a function and understand how this relates to the real-world problem represented by the function.
