Monotonic Functions, the First Derivative and Second Derivative Test for Concavity and CurveSketching

Definitions: Increasing, Decreasing Function


Let f be a function defined on an interval I and let and be any two points in I.

1. If whenever < , then f is said to be increasing on I.2. If whenever < , then f is said to be decreasing on I.

A function that is increasing or decreasing on I is called monotonic on I.

First Derivative Test for Monotonic Functions

Suppose that f is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b).

If at each point , then f is increasing on [a, b].If at each point , then f is decreasing on [a, b].

First Derivative Test for Local Extrema

Suppose that c is a critical point of a continuous function f, and that f is differentiable at every point in some interval containing c expect possibly at c itself. Moving across c from left to right.

1. if changes from negative to positive at c, then f has a local minimum at c;

2. if changes from positive to negative at c, then f has a local maximum at c;

3. if does not change sign at c (that is, is positive on both sides of c or negative on both sides), then f has no local extremum at c.


The Second Derivative Test for Concavity

Let y = f(x) be twice-differentiable on an interval I.1. If on I, the graph of f over I is concave up.2. If on I, the graph of f over I is concave down.

Definition: Point of Inflection

A point where the graph of a function has a tangent line and where the concavity changes is a point of inflection.

Second Derivative Test for Local Extrema

Inflection point


Suppose is continuous on an open interval that contains x = c.1. If and , then f has a local maximum at x = c.2. If and , then f has a local minimum at x = c.3. If and , then the test fails. The function f may have a local

maximum, a local minimum, or neither.

Graph Sketching

Strategy for Graphing y = f(x)1. Identify the domain of f and any symmetries the curve may have.2. Find and .3. Find the critical points of f, and identify the function’s behavior at each one.4. Find where the curve is increasing and where it is decreasing.5. Find the points of inflection, if any occur, and determine the concavity of the

curve.6. Identify any asymptotes.7. Plot key points, such as the intercepts and the points found in Steps 3-5, and

sketch the curve.
