Using Differentiation Stationary Points © Christine Crisp

Stationary Points The stationary points of a curve are the points where the gradient is zero A local maximum A local minimum x x The word local is usually omitted and the points called maximum and minimum points. e.g.

Stationary Points e.g.1 Find the coordinates of the stationary points on the curve Solution: or The stationary points are (3, -27) and ( -1, 5) Tip: Watch out for common factors when finding stationary points.

Stationary Points Exercises Find the coordinates of the stationary points of the following functions Ans: St. pt. is ( 2, 1) Solutions: 1.

Stationary Points 2. Solution: Ans: St. pts. are ( 1,  6) and (  2, 21 )

Stationary Points On the left of a maximum, the gradient is positive We need to be able to determine the nature of a stationary point ( whether it is a max or a min ). There are several ways of doing this. e.g. On the right of a maximum, the gradient is negative

Stationary Points So, for a max the gradients are The opposite is true for a minimum At the max On the right of the max On the left of the max Calculating the gradients on the left and right of a stationary point tells us whether the point is a max or a min.

Stationary Points Solution: On the left of x = 2 e.g. at x = 1, On the right of x = 2 e.g. at x = 3, We haveis a min Substitute in (1): e.g.2 Find the coordinates of the stationary point of the curve. Is the point a max or min?

Stationary Points At the max of but the gradient of the gradient is negative. The gradient function is given by e.g.3 Consider the gradient is 0 Another method for determining the nature of a stationary point.

Stationary Points The notation for the gradient of the gradient is “ d 2 y by d x squared” Another method for determining the nature of a stationary point. The gradient function is given by e.g.3 Consider At the min of the gradient of the gradient is positive.

Stationary Points e.g.3 ( continued ) Find the stationary points on the curve and distinguish between the max and the min. Solution: Stationary points: or We now need to find the y -coordinates of the st. pts. is called the 2 nd derivative

Stationary Points max at min at At, To distinguish between max and min we use the 2 nd derivative, at the stationary points.

Stationary Points SUMMARY  To find stationary points, solve the equation maximum minimum  Determine the nature of the stationary points either by finding the gradients on the left and right of the stationary points or by finding the value of the 2 nd derivative at the stationary points

Stationary Points Exercises Find the coordinates of the stationary points of the following functions, determine the nature of each and sketch the functions is a min. is a max. Ans. is a min. is a max. Ans.
