In chapter 4, we have to find critical points to solve for finding absolute extrema. Critical points are points within the domain of a function at which the derivative of the function equals zero or does not exist. You plug in the critical point to the equation of the original function to find the value of the function's absolute maxima or minima. On closed interval domains, the endpoints must be tested as critical points as well.

Using critical points and the double derivative of a function, you can find where the function concaves up or down. The inflection point is the point where the double derivative of the function is 0. You tests points on either side of the inflection point and when f"(x)>0, f(x) is concave up. When f"(x)<0, f(x) is concave down.

The Mean Value Theorem applies when f(x) is continuous within every point in a CLOSED interval [a,b] and differentiable within (a,b)

The MVT would not apply to corners, cusps, and vertical tangents because they are not differentiable at every point.

Optimization

So pretty much when you are doing optimization problems you need to get the value you are asked to find (area, perimeter, volume) in terms of a single variable. This means you need to rewrite other dimensions in terms of a single dimension (similarity and a good understanding of geometry helps with this). Once you have this equation, you can either just plug it in your calculator and find the max (what we did in precalc) or take the derivative and set it equal to 0.
