extremes

definition and example

1 answer

In mathematics, the extremes are the highest and lowest values that a function or set of numbers can achieve.

For example, consider the set of numbers {2, 6, 9, 15, 22}. The extreme values of this set are:
- The minimum value, which is 2
- The maximum value, which is 22

These extremes provide important information about the set, such as the range or spread of the values.
