Increasing and Decreasing Functions A function f is increasing on an interval for any two numbers x1and x2 in the interval, x1<x2 implies f(x1)<f(x2) A function f is decreasingon an interval for any two numbers x1 and x2 in the interval, x1<x2 implies f(x1)>f(x2) Increasing!

Test for Increasing and Decreasing Functions Let f be a function that is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b). • If f’(x)>0 for all x in (a,b), then f is increasing on [a,b] • If f’(x)<0 for all x in (a,b), then f is decreasing on [a,b] • If f’(x)=0 for all x in (a,b), then f is contant on [a,b]
Intervals on Which f is Increasing or Decreasing Find the open intervals on which is increasing or decreasing.
The First Derivative Test • Find the first derivative. • Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x. • Put the critical numbers you found on a number line (dividing it into regions). • Pick a value from each region, plug it into the first derivative and note whether your result is positive or negative. • Indicate where the function is increasing or decreasing.
