Maxima and Minima
Maxima and Minima - A function f(x) is said to have a local maximum at x = a, if $ is a neighbourhood I of 'a', such that f(a) f(x) for all x I The number f(a) is called the local maximum of f(x). The point a is called the point of maximum. Note that when 'a' is the point of loc..

Ratio of Intensities at Maxima and Minima
It has already been proved that the intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude. At a point where constructive interference has occurred, the intensity will be maximum and the amplitudes of the two waves will have added. If A 1 and A 2 are the amplitudes of the individual wav..
Example:
Find the local maxima and local minima of the function f (x) = 2x 3 - 21x 2 + 36x - 20. Find also the local maximum and local minimum value..
Theorem 3: (Second Derivative Test)
Let f be a differentiable function on an interval I and let a I. Let f "(a) be continuous at a. Then i) 'a' is a point of local maxima if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) < 0 ii) 'a' is a point of local minima if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) > 0 iii) The test fails if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) ..
