1
Calculus Continued Tangents and Normals Example Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the graph of at the point where
2
Example Find the equation of the tangent and the normal to the curve at the point A where
3
Stationary Points Stationary Points on the graph of a function are points at which the gradient is zero. Hence to obtain coordinates of stationary points on the graph of 1. Solve -gives the x coordinates then 2. Substitute in -gives the y coordinates
4
Stationary points will be one of the following types: Minimum point Maximum point Points of inflection
5
Example Find the stationary points to the graph of. Hence sketch the graph of
6
For type? We can determine type of any stationary point by looking at the change in its gradient as we go ‘through’ the stationary point. – Minimum + + – Maximum
7
+ + – – Inflections
8
Example Obtain the stationary point and determine type of the graph of
9
Example Obtain the stationary point and determine type of the graph of
10
Example Find the maximum and minimum values of y when Hence sketch the graph of
