That problem will ask you to take information from graphs of y = f '(x) and/or y = f ''(x) and use it to identify classify critical points as local maxima, local minima, or neither.

• Note: The Greek phrase appearing next to the heading of this page is one traditional rendering of the reported inscription over the entrance to Plato's Academy in Athens (founded about 387 BCE). It means (roughly) Let no one ignorant of geometry enter. This is a reflection of the foundational role of geometry in Plato's ideas about knowledge and education.
