Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in terms of global or local range. The definition of minimization in the thesaurus is the process of reducing something to a small amount, value, or position. Minimization (noun) is an instance of belittling or disparagement.
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which one would be easier? Walking on the road would be much easier than climbing a mountain.
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the first derivative test and second derivative test to understand the concave behavior of the function.

**Exercise 1**: Let \( y = x^2 + 3 \) for \( 0 \leq x \leq 4 \).
**Instructions**:
1. **Find a number \( c \)** that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem. Fill in the blanks with the points. **Sketch the secant line** and corresponding tangent line on the given graph. (The tangent line must be parallel to the secant line).

2. Graph of \( f'(x) = \) ______________
**Equation for the slope**:
\[
m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_}
\]
The slope of the line tangent to \( y = x^2 + 3 \) at the point \( ( \_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_ ) \) is equal to the slope of the secant line passing through the points \( ( \_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_ ) \) and \( ( \_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_ ) \).
3. **Fill in the blanks** for the secant line above.
\[
\Delta x = \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} \quad f'(c) = \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_}
\]
**Find the length** of the line segment with the distance formula. Round to 2 decimal places.
\[
D = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2} = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + ( \Delta x f'(c) )^2} = \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_}
\]
4. **Approximate the length of the curve \( y = x^2 + 3 \) for \( 0 \leq x \leq 4 \)** by dividing the curve into 2 equal line segments. Endpoints placed on the graph.
**Compute length** of the 2-line segments and add these distances to approximate the curve length.
**Sketch and label** lines below with their length.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F557c900c-f54e-42a7-ae9e-e31ab7d15dc4%2F45932d6e-e30b-4676-81b8-b428d1071778%2Fqg8edvc_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
