1
New cards

f(x) is increasing

f’(x) is positive, f’(x)>0

2
New cards

f(x) is decreasing

f’(x) is negative, f’(x)<0

3
New cards

f(x) is at a critical value

if f is defined, f’=0 or DNE

4
New cards

f(x) is at a relative max

f’ changes from positive to negative at a critical value

f’’(C.V.)<0, if f’ exists and is differentiable

5
New cards

f(x) is at a relative min

f’ changes from negative to positive at a critical value

f’’(C.V.)>0, if f’ exists and is differentiable

6
New cards

f(x) is concave up

f’(x) is increasing

f’’(x) is positive, f’’(x)>0

7
New cards

f(x) is concave down

f’(x) is decreasing

f’’(x) is negative, f’’(x)<0

8
New cards

f(x) is at a point of inflection

f’(x) is at either a relative minimum or maximum

f’’(x)=0 or DNE and changes sign
