MAFS.912.C.1.13Archived Standard

Understand and apply the Extreme Value Theorem: If f(x) is continuous over a closed interval, then f has a maximum and a minimum on the interval.

Remarks

Example: Use the Extreme Value Theorem to decide whether f(x)=tan(x) has a minimum and maximum on the interval .  What about on the interval  ?  explain your reasoning.
