3.1 First Derivative Test I
We are going to study the trend of a function - where the function increases
(graph rises) or decreases (graph falls) over an interval.

We observe that at x = @, b, and c, the tangents to the graph are horizontal.
So, f'(a) = F'(b) = F'(c) = 0.

Atx= d, g, and k, the tangents to the graph are vertical. So, f'(e), f°(h),
and f'(j) are not defined.
Definition: A critical number of a function fis a number cin the domain of f
such that f’(c) = 0 or f'(c) is not defined.
¢, h, and , the tangents to the graph are horizontal.
Next we observe that the function is increasing from x =a to x = b and decreasing
from x = b to x= c. We say fis monotonic on (a, b).

The First Derivative Test for Local Extrema (Maximum or Minimum)
Let c be a critical number of fin the domain (a, b). If fis a continuous function on (a, b)
and differentiable on (a, b), except possibly at c, itself.
(a) IF F changes from positive to negative atc, then fhas a local maximum at c.
(b) If F changes from negative to positive at ¢, then fhas a local minimum at c.
(c) If f' does not change signs from both sides of c, then fdoes not have a local
maximum nor minimum at c.
How to find the local extrema and determine where the function is monotonic?

Since fchanges from negative to zero to positive values, f" is increasing on (a, c).
Thevefore(f" > B)We say the function fis concave upward.
The point where there is a change of concavity is called the point of inflection.
So, x= cand c= e are points of inflactir
