What is the difference between an extreme point and an extreme value of a function?

The difference between the extreme point and the extreme value
of a function is more to do with notation.


If a function f(x) is
plotted on a graph with the independent value on the x-axis and the dependent value f(x) on the
y-axis, the extreme value is the y coordinate of the point at which the function has an extreme
value. The extreme point would be the point with the coordinates (x, y). Extreme values of a
function can be both minimum values as well as maximum values and include both local extreme
value as well as absolute extreme values.


The extreme
value is defined as a single number which is the value of f(x), an extreme point is defined as a
pair of x and y coordinates.
