In this video, we use the First Derivative Test to find the local maximum and minimum values of a polynomial function.

How to find the local extreme values? We first need to find critical numbers of the function. Then plot the critical numbers on the number line (x-axis) to construct a sign analysis chart. This chart will tell us on what interval the function is increasing or decreasing. We can next apply the First Derivative Test to find the local maximum and minimum values.

Note that because we are finding the max and min values, we will finding the y-values of the function. Do not confuse this with the location of the extrema, which are the x-values.
