Step 1
Step 1: To find the global maximum of a function on a closed interval, we need to evaluate the function at the endpoints of the interval as well as at any critical points within the interval. Show more…

The maximum of a function that is continuous on a closed interval can occur at two different values in the interval.
Applications of Differentiation
Extrema on an Interval
The global minimum of $f(x)=x^{4}$ on any closed interval $a \leq x \leq b$ occurs at $x=0$ The best possible bounds for $f(x)=1 /(1-x)$ on the interval $0 \leq x \leq 2$ are $f(0) \leq f(x) \leq f(2)$
