TRENDS & RELATIVE EXTREMES • SIGN OF THE FIRST DERIVATIVE • LOCATING EXTREMES • CUBIC EXAMPLE [I] • Sign Graph and Factor Graph of f '(x) • Sketch of f(x) • QUINTIC EXAMPLE [4.5] • REVENUE EXAMPLE [6] • SEAGULL FUNCTION [7]
Since the derivative of f is negative for x<0 and positive for x>0, we know f \ for x<0 and f / for x>0. This is borne out in the graph of f. M20 L29: Trends and Relative Extremes -- Slide 1
LOCATING EXTREMES • If part of the graph of f has slope formula f ', then that part of the graph of f is continuous (connected) • If f ' is positive on a open interval, f is INcreasing there. • If f ' is negative on a open interval, f is DEcreasing there. • If an interval of increase connects with an interval of decrease, then f has a local maximum or minimum value there, depending on whether the increase is on the left or the right.
