Optimisation Using Derivatives I Positive and negative values of the derivative as an indication of the points at which the function is increasing or decreasing zero values of the derivative as an indication of stationary points Greatest and least values of functions relationship between the graph of a function and the graph of its derivative methods of determining the nature of stationary points greatest and least values of functions in a given interval
If the gradient is positive, the curve slopes upwards from left to right • If the gradient is negative, the curve slopes downwards from left to right

Positive and negative values of the derivative as an indication of the points at which the function is increasing or decreasing • Consider the following functions and their derivatives: • y = x2 • y = x3 • y = x3 - 2x2 – 2x + 1
Greatest and Least Values • Find the greatest and least values of the function y = x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 5 for -3 x 2
y = x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 5 Check bounds When x = -3, y= 8 When x = 2, y = 13 Check stationary values y = x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 5 y’ = 3x2 + 4x – 4 = (3x-2)(x+2) S.P. when y’=0 x= ⅔ or x = -2 When x = ⅔, y = 3.519 (3dp) When x= -2, y = 13 Greatest value is 13 ; Least value is 3.519 (3dp)
Model : Find the stationary points on the curve y = x3+2x2 – 4x +2
When x = ⅔, y = 0.519 (3dp) When x = -2, y = 10
When x = ⅔, y = 0.519 (3dp) When x = -2, y = 10
When x = ⅔, y = 0.519 (3dp) When x = -2, y = 10
When x = ⅔, y = 0.519 (3dp) When x = -2, y = 10
When x = ⅔, y = 0.519 (3dp) When x = -2, y = 10 Now check your answer on your GC Max at (-2, 10) Min at (⅔ ,0.519)
The Second Derivative The derivative of is called the second derivative At a S.P., if is positive then that point is a minimum if is negative then that point is a maximum
Model Find the nature of the stationary points on the curve y =x3+2x2 – 4x +2
Model Draw the graph of y = 2 sin 3x for 0 < x < 2Π y = 2 sin 3x dy/dx = 6 cos 3x d2y/dx2 = -18 sin 3x S.P. when dy/dx = 0 6 cos 3x = 0 cos 3x = 0 3x = (2n+1)Π/2 x = (2n+1)Π/6 x = … Π/6, 3Π/6, 5Π/6, 7Π/6, …
