The problem (dun…nun…nuh!)
Y=x^3-3x^2+4
1) Find y’
2) Find y’’
3) Graph
Step 1: First Derivative Y=x^3-3x^2+4 Y’=3x^2-6x
Step 2:Factor Y’=3x(x-2)
Step 3: Sign Line + - + x-2------------------______
3x---________________________________F’(x) 0 2
Therefore, it is increasing when x<0 and increasing when x>2, but decreasing from 0<x<2
Look! No asymptotes!
Don’t forget MAX and MIN
x=0 and x=2
• Step 4:Plug into the function– F(0)=4– F(2)=0
• Therefore! (4,0) and (2,0) are either a max or a min-(4,0) is a max because it is increasing and then
decreasing
-(2,0) is a min because it is decreasing then increasing
Now repeat those steps for the second derivativeNow repeat those steps for the second derivative
Step 5: Second derivativeStep 5: Second derivative Y’= 3x^2-6x Y’= 3x^2-6x Y”= 6x-6Y”= 6x-6
Step 6: FactorStep 6: Factor Y”=6(x-1)Y”=6(x-1)
Step 7: Sign Line for the second derivativeStep 7: Sign Line for the second derivative - +- +(x-1)------------__________(x-1)------------__________ _________________f”(x)_________________f”(x) 11
Therefore, it is concave down when x<1 and concave up when x>1
• Step 8: Plug in x=1 for an inflection pointF(1)=2
• Step 9: What do we now know?
– Max at (0,4)– Min at (2,0)– Inflection point at (2,1)– it is increasing when x<0 and increasing when
x>2, but decreasing from 0<x<2– it is concave down when x<1 and concave up
when x>1
The problem (dun…nun…nuh!)
Y=(x+3)/(x-2)
1) Find y’
3) Graph
• Step 1: First Derivative– Y=(x+3)/(x-2) – Y’=(x-2)(1)-(x-3)(1)/((x-2)^2)– ((x-2)-(x-3))/((x-2)(x-2))
• Step 2: Simplify – -5/(x-2)(x-2)
• Step 3: Sign Line - -
-5------------------------x-2------__________
x-2------______________________________F’(x) 2
Therefore, it is decreasing for all real numbers
Look! Vertical asymptotes at x=2
Horizontal at y=1
X intercept at x=-3
• Step 4: What do we now know?
– Look! Vertical asymptotes at x=2 – Horizontal at y=1– X intercept at x=-3– it is decreasing for all real numbers
The problem (dun…nun…nuh!)
Y=x/(x-1)
1) Find y’
3) Graph
• Step 1: First Derivative– Y=(x)/(x-1) – Y’=(x-1)(1)-(x)(1)/(x-1)^2– -1/((x-1)(x-1))
• Step 2: Sign Line - -
-1------------------------x-1------__________
x-1------______________________________F’(x) 1
Look! Vertical asymptotes at x=1
Horizontal at y=1
X intercept at x=0

The figure above shows the graph of f’(x), the derivative of a function f. The domain of f is the set of all real numbers x such that -3<x<5.
a]For what values of x does f have a relative maximum? Why?b]For what values of x does f have a relative minimum? Why?c]On what intervals is the graph of f concave upward? Use f’ to justify your answer.d]Suppose that f(1)=0. In the xy-plane provided, draw a sketch that shows the general shape of the graph of the function f on the open interval 0<x<2.
Basic Info From Graph
Found in intervals above x-axis Inflection Points of derivative
[-3,-2) increasing x=-2…maximum(-2,4) decreasing x=4….minimum (4,5) increasing
Found in areas between max’s/min’s of derivative graph[-3,-1) concave down(-1,1) concave up(1,3) concave down(3,5] concave up
Part A
• X=-2….Maximum
• X-intercepts of the derivative are max’s and min’s of the function and x=-2 is the point where the function changes from increasing to decreasing (which is seen through the intervals where the derivative is above or below the x-axis)
Part B
• X=4…minimum
• X-intercepts of the derivative are max’s and min’s of the function.
• x=4 is the point where the function changes from decreasing to increasing– This change from decreasing to increasing is
a minimum because the graph dips down before rising up, similar to a U-shape
Part C
• (-1,1) & (3,5]
• Max’s and min’s of the derivative are points of inflection of the function.
• A minimum in the function occurs in the interval (3,5] & concavity changes at each inflection point.
• Therefore, these intervals are concave up.
Part D
THE END
Intercepts and Asymptotes
• Find where x=0 in the original function
• Do this by factoring (unless already factored)
• Y=x^2+x-6(X+3)(x-2)
X intercepts at x=-3 and x=2
• Vertical asymptotes: where the denominator equals zero or where there is a negative under a radical
• Horizontal Asymptotes:– Power on bottom is bigger
y=0– Power on top is oblique– Powers are equal: Ratio of
the coefficients
Oblique Asymptotes
• Oblique is where power on the top is greater than the power on the bottom
• To solve these use long division (divide the numerator by the denominator).
• The answer will be a line (if done correctly) and will be the oblique asymptote
Setting up a sign line• Draw a line and label it accordingly • List all factors on the left most column• List all critical points underneath the line• Label accordingly • For each critical point draw a circle
– Draw open circles for the factors that are in the denominator– Draw closed circles for the factors that are in the numerator
• Where x is positive in the factor draw ---- leading up to the circle, then a solid line following it. (do the opposite if it is negative)
• For each interval, if the number of --- lines is even draw a + sign over that interval.
• If the interval has a odd amount of ---- lines than draw a negative sign over the interval
• These will tell you either if the graph is increasing/decreasing (first derivative) or if it is concave up/concave down (second derivative)
Parts of a sign line
Critical Points
• Max and min: Found on the first derivative sign line. Once the x is found plug back into the original function to find the y value
• X-intercepts: See intercepts slide• Vertical asymptotes: See asymptotes slide• Inflection points: Found on the sign line of the
second derivative. Once the x value is found plug back into the original function to find the y value.
