Intervals for Function Behavior: Intervals contain only ______________, and we use ONLY open parentheses.
Intervals report the location of the function behavior.
Function behavior is _________ behavior, such as increasing and decreasing and concavity.
Inflection Point:
Turning Point: Point on a curve, where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing or decreasing to increasing.
Relative (or local) Maximum: Turning point, where there is a smooth change from increasing to decreasing
Plural: Maxima
Relative (or local) Minimum: Turning point, where there is a smooth change from decreasing to increasing
Plural: Minima
