4.3 1st & 2nd Derivative Tests
Increasing or Decreasing?: If f (x) > 0 in an interval, then f is increasing in the interval. If f (x) < 0 in an interval, then f is decreasing in the interval.
1st Derivative Test c is critical number of f: If f changes from + to – at c, then f(c) is a local max. If f changes from – to + at c, then f(c) is a local min.
Concave Up or Down?: Concave up: holds water Inc @ an Increasing rate Dec @ a Decreasing rate
Concave Up or Down?: Concave down: spills water Inc @ an Decreasing rate Dec @ a Increasing rate
Concavity Test f(x) > 0 in an interval, then f is concave up in the interval. f(x) < 0 in an interval, then f is concave down in the interval.
Increasing or Decreasing?: If f (x) > 0 in an interval, then f is increasing in the interval. If f (x) < 0 in an interval, then f is decreasing in the interval.
1st Derivative Test c is critical number of f: If f changes from + to – at c, then f(c) is a local max. If f changes from – to + at c, then f(c) is a local min.
Concave Up or Down?: Concave up: holds water Inc @ an Increasing rate Dec @ a Decreasing rate
Concave Up or Down?: Concave down: spills water Inc @ an Decreasing rate Dec @ a Increasing rate
Concavity Test f(x) > 0 in an interval, then f is concave up in the interval. f(x) < 0 in an interval, then f is concave down in the interval.
2nd Derivative Test c is critical number of f: If f (c) = 0 & f(c) > 0, then f(c) is a local min. If f (c) = 0 & f(c) < 0, then f(c) is a local max.
