Critical Point c is where f (c) = 0 (tangent line is horizontal), or f (c) = undefined (tangent line is vertical) f (x) indicates if the function is concave up or down on certain intervals. Inflection Point: where f '' ( x) = 0 or where the function changes concavity, no Min no Max. f (x) > 0 increasing f (x) > 0 increasing f (x) < 0 decreasing f (x) < 0 decreasing f (x) < 0 concave down f (x) > 0 concave up f (x) < 0 concave down f (x) > 0 concave up f(c) f ' (c) =0 If the sign of f (c) changes: from to, then: f (c) is a local Maximum f(c) f ' (c) =0 If the sign of f (c) changes: from to, then: f (c) is a local Minimum f(c) f ' (c) =0 f ' (c) =0 f(c) If there is no sign change for f (c): then f (c) is not a local extreme, it is: An Inflection Point (concavity changes) a i b a i b j c f(b) f(c) Critical points, f ' (x) = 0 at : x = a, x = b Increasing, f ' (x) > 0 in : x < a and x > b Decreasing, f ' (x) < 0 in : a < x < b Max at: x = a, Max = Min at: x = b, Min = f(b) Inflection point, f '' (x) = 0 at : x = i Concave up, f '' (x) > 0 in: x > i Concave Down, f '' (x) < 0 in: x < i Critical points, f ' (x) = 0 at : x = a, x = b, x = c Increasing, f ' (x) > 0 in : a < x < b and x > c Decreasing, f ' (x) < 0 in : x < a and b < x < c Max at: x = b, Max = f(b) Min at: x = a, x = c, Min = and f(c) Inflection point, f '' (x) = 0 at : x = i, x = j Concave up, f '' (x) > 0 in: x < i and x > j Concave Down, f '' (x) < 0 in: i < x < j 1

I) Applications of The First Derivative: Finding the critical points Determining the intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing Finding the local maxima and local minima Step 1: Locate the critical points where the derivative is = 0; find f '(x) and make it = 0 f ' (x) = 0 x = a, b, c,... Step 2: Divide f ' (x) into intervals using the critical points found in the previous step: a b c then choose a test point in each interval. Step 3: Find the derivative for the function in each test point: Sign of f ' (test point) Label the interval of the test point: > 0 or positive increasing,, < 0 or negative decreasing,, Step 4: Look at both sides of each critical point, take point a for example: a a or then it is a local Min. Min = or then it is a local Max. Max = a or No local Min. or Max. a or No local Min. or Max. 2

II) Applications of The Second Derivative: Finding the inflection points Determining the intervals where the function is concave up or concave down Step 5: Locate the inflection points where the second derivative is = 0; find f '' (x) and make it = 0 f '' (x) = 0 x = i, j, k,... Step 6: Divide f '' (x) into intervals using the inflection points found in the previous step: i j k then choose a test point in each interval. Step 7: Find the second derivative for function in each test point: Sign of f '' (test point) Label the interval of the test point: > 0 or positive Concave up,, < 0 or negative Concave down,, Step 8: Summarize all results in the following table: Increasing in the intervals: Decreasing in the intervals: Local Max. points and Max values: Local Min. points and Min values: Inflection points at: Concave Up in the intervals: Concave Down in the intervals: Step 9: Sketch the graph using the information from steps 3,4 and 7 showing the critical points, inflection points, intervals of increasing or decreasing, local maxima and minima and the intervals of concave up or down. Note: It is best to put the data from steps 3,4,7 above each other, then graph the function. For example: Steps 3,4: f ' (x), increasing, decreasing labels: a b Step 7: f '' (x), concave up, down labels: i Show the coordinates of each point: Local Max at (a, ) Local Min at (b, f(b)) Inflection Point at (i, f(i)) Max Inflection point Min 3
