... 4,360 – (–8,290). If we think of the problem as how much money would Sam need to have to pay off the loan and keep the CD, we may consider it as an addition problem where the 8,290 is added to the 4,360 so that we would need $12,650 to pay off the loan and still have the CD. This implies that 4,360 ...

... interval [a,b]. The value f ( b ) is not the least value of f on [a,b], so it is not a global minimum. Similarly, f ( b ) is not a local minimum because f is not continuous at b. Formally, we define global extrema (or absolute extrema) as below. A function f has a global maximum (also called an abso ...

Elementary mathematics
Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. The most basic topics in elementary mathematics are arithmetic and geometry. Beginning in the last decades of the 20th century, there has been an increased emphasis on problem solving. Elementary mathematics is used in everyday life in such activities as making change, cooking, buying and selling stock, and gambling. It is also an essential first step on the path to understanding science.In secondary school, the main topics in elementary mathematics are algebra and trigonometry. Calculus, even though it is often taught to advanced secondary school students, is usually considered college level mathematics.
