The terms Local Maxima and Minima are used to describe points on a function where it achieves its highest or lowest value within a specified interval. Essentially, a local maximum is an elevation point that surpasses all adjacent points, whereas a local minimum is a point that is lower than any of its immediate neighbors. Understanding these points is pivotal in comprehending the behavior of a function.
