Finding Turning Points of a Function

If a function has point that is high but not the highest point on the graph, it is called the...

• Absolute/global min

• Absolute/global max

• Relative max

• Relative min

• There is a relative maximum at (3.5, 4.2).

• There is a relative minimum at (0, -4).

• There is a relative minimum at (2, 0).

The turning point of the parabola is called the

• vertex

What is the significance of the vertex in a parabola?

• It represents the maximum value of the parabola

• It is the point where the parabola changes direction
