If there is one prayer that you should pray/sing every day and every hour, it is the LORD's prayer (Our FATHER in Heaven prayer)
It is the most powerful prayer. A pure heart, a clean mind, and a clear conscience is necessary for it.

Samuel Dominic Chukwuemeka
I greet you this day,
Please solve the questions on your own before checking your answers with the calculators.
I wrote the codes for some of the calculators using JavaScript, a client-side scripting language.
The Wolfram Alpha widgets (many thanks to the developers) were used for some calculators.
Comments, ideas, areas of improvement, questions, and constructive criticisms are welcome. You may contact me.
If you are my student, please do not contact me here. Contact me via the school's system.
Thank you for visiting.

Applications of Derivatives

Extrema

Use only $x$
Use $e$ and $h$ appropriately/accordingly


This calculator will:
(1.) Determine the extrema (maxima and minima) of a function within a domain.
(2.) Determine the extrema (maxima and minima) of a function without bounds. In this case, please specify the bounds are $-\infty$ and $\infty$.
(3.) Graph the function and indicate the extrema on the graph.

To use the calculator, please:
(1.) Type the function in the textbox (the bigger textbox).
(2.) Type it according to the examples I listed. Do not include $y = \;\;the\;\;function$
(3.) Delete the "default" function in the textbox of the calculator.
(4.) Copy and paste the function you typed, into the appropriate textbox of the calculator.
(5.) Type the domain of the function accordingly in the appropriate textbox of the calculator.
(6.) Click the Submit button.
(7.) Check to make sure that it is the correct function and domain that you typed.
(8.) Review the answers. At least one of the answers is probably what you need.
