passes a patrol car stationed at a mileage marker. Four minutes later, the car passes another patrolman at a marker that is five miles from the first. The driver notes that the speedometer registers 55 miles per hour. Can the highway patrol use the Mean Value Theorem to prove that the driver was exceeding the speed limit of 70 miles per hour at some time between the two mileage markers?

To12tc �.7: !Jiing thi Se�ong 12erivgtive Test to Determine Extrema

Using the Second Derivative to find Extrema of a Function

Similarly, the SECOND DERIVATIVE is the FIRST DERIVATIVE of f'(x), so the same relationships that exist between f (x) and f' (x) must also exist between f' (x) and f" (x). We can use the SECOND

DERIVATIVE TEST as an alternate method for locating relative extrema.

If x = c is a critical number of f(x), then f' (c) = 0 orf' (c) does not exist. This makesx = c a "possible" maximum or minimum value of the function f(x).
