How do you find the local max and min for #f(x) = 1 - sqrt(x)#?
Local maximum is
There are no other critical numbers, so there are no other local extrema.

To find the local maximum and minimum points for ( f(x) = 1 - \sqrt{x} ):
- Find the first derivative of the function, ( f'(x) ).
- Set ( f'(x) = 0 ) and solve for ( x ).
- Determine the critical points.
- Use the second derivative test or the first derivative test to determine if each critical point corresponds to a local maximum, minimum, or neither.
Let's start with step 1:
[ f(x) = 1 - \sqrt{x} ]
[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(1 - \sqrt{x}) = 0 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} ]
Now, for step 2:
[ f'(x) = 0 ]
[ -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} = 0 ]
[ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} = 0 ]
[ \text{No solution.} ]
Since there are no solutions for ( f'(x) = 0 ), there are no critical points.
Therefore, there are no local maximum or minimum points for the function ( f(x) = 1 - \sqrt{x} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
