Maximum and Minimum Values: October 22, 2019

This document discusses finding maximum and minimum values on surfaces and functions. It addresses visualizing tangent planes at critical points, guessing where surfaces may have maxima or minima, testing for the existence of extrema, saddle points, how derivatives affect the shape of a graph, and the slope of tangents. The document provides guidance on analyzing critical points and extreme values through examples and explanations.
