The mathematical concept of finding extremal points (Extremstellen) is crucial in calculus, focusing on identifying both local and global maxima and minima of functions. This comprehensive guide covers the systematic approach to calculating these points using derivatives.
• Extremstellen berechnen involves identifying both local and global extreme points through derivative analysis
• The process requires calculating first and second derivatives to determine the nature of extremal points
• Lokale und globale Extrema are distinguished by their relative positions within the function's domain
• The method includes finding critical points where the first derivative equals zero
• Verification of extremal points requires using the second derivative test
