(A) First Derivative Test Let f be a differentiable function with f '(c) = 0 then 1. If f '(x) changes from positive to negative, then f has a relative maximum at c. 2. If f '(x) changes from negative to positive, then f has a relative minimum at c. 3. If f '(x) does not change sign at c, then f has neither an maximum or minimum at c.

(A) First Derivative Test Your task: Write an explanation/clarification/rationalization of the FDT. Include diagrams in your explanation Calculus - Santowski 9/11/2018
(A) First Derivative Test Use the FDT to classify all extrema of the function f(x) = x4 – 4x3 + 4x2 (NOTE: Sign charts are NOT allowed!) Calculus - Santowski 9/11/2018
(B) Second Derivative Test Let f be a twice differentiable function near x = c such that f '(c) = 0. Then 1. If f ''(x) > 0 then f(c) is a relative minimum. 2. If f ''(x) < 0 then f(c) is a relative maximum. 3. If f ''(x) = 0 then use the first derivative test to classify the extrema. Calculus - Santowski 9/11/2018
(B) Second Derivative Test Your task: Write an explanation/clarification/rationalization of the FDT. Include diagrams in your explanation Calculus - Santowski 9/11/2018
(B) Second Derivative Test Use the function f(x) = x4 – 4x3 to show algebraically HOW the SDT can be used to classify the extremas as either (i) maximums, (ii) minimums, or (iii) stationary points Calculus - Santowski 9/11/2018
