This study guide covers the Second Derivative Test for classifying local extrema (minima and maxima). It explains how to use the first and second derivatives to identify and classify critical points, including cases where the second derivative is zero. The guide also discusses points of inflection and the first derivative test. Examples and practice questions are provided to reinforce these concepts.
