Notes 4.3: Deriv. Tests Name ________________________________
1. Rolle's Thrm: If f is differentiable over [a, b] and
if f(___) = f(___), then f'(c ) = ____ for at least one number c in _________.
2. Mean Value Theorem (MVT): If f is differentiable on [a, b], then there exists at least one c in (a, b)
such that f'(c ) = ________________ or equivalently, f(b) - f(a) = f'(c )(b - a).
3. Increasing/Decreasing Test:
i. If f'(x) > 0 for every x in (a, b), then f is _______________ (increasing or decreasing) on [a, b].
ii. If f'(x) < 0 for every x in (a, b), then f is _______________ (increasing or decreasing) on [a, b
4. First Derivative Test: Let c be a critical number of a continuous function f.
i. If f' changes from positive to negative at c, then f(c) is a ________________________ of f.
ii. If f' changes from negative to positive at c, then f(c) is a ________________________ of f.
iii. If f' does not change signs at c, then f(c) is not a _____________________ of f.
5. Definition of Concavity: The graph of f is
i. Concave _______________ (Upward or Downward) if f' is increasing on I (i.e., interval I)
ii. Concave _______________ (Upward or Downward) if f' is decreasing on I
6. Test for Concavity: The graph of f is
i. Concave _______________ (Upward or Downward) if f"(x) > 0 on I
ii. Concave _______________ (Upward or Downward) if f"(x) < 0 on I
7. Definition of Pt of Inflection: A point (c, f(c) ) on a graph of f is a point of inflection if:
i. f is continuous at c AND
ii. There is an open interval (a, b) containing c such that the graph is concave upward on (a, c) and
concave _______________ on (____, _____), or vice versa.
*You can shorten this by saying "the concavity changes at P(c, f(c) )."
8. Second Derivative Test: Suppose that f is continuous near c.
i. If f ’(c) = 0 and f"(c) < 0, then f has a local ___________ at c.
ii. If f ’(c) = 0 and f"(c) > 0, then f has a local ___________ at c.
Warning: If f"(c) = 0, the second derivative test is not applicable. In such cases, use first deriv. test.
9. Closed Interval Test: When a problem involves a closed interval, don't forget that global extrema can
occur at _________ _____ or at either _____________, so you must compare these ____-coordinates.
10. IVT: Given f is cont. over [a, b], for any N such that f(a) ≤ N ≤ f(b), there exists a c in (a,b) such that f(c) = N.
11. Extreme Value Theorem: Given f is cont. over [a, b], then f must have an absolute max & absolute min in [a, b].
