How to Find Global Maxima and Minima
Do you ever wonder how to find the highest or lowest points of something? Maybe you’re trying to figure out the best temperature for baking cookies or the shortest route to school. In the world of mathematics, we call these high points “global maximums” and low points “global minimums.” They’re like the peaks and valleys of a roller coaster, showing us the highest and lowest points along the ride.
In this article, we’ll take a journey into the world of finding global maximums and minimums.
