Graphing Issues with sin 63x Function

The document provides examples of graphs of functions f(x) and discusses their key properties in intervals based on the values of f'(x) and f''(x). It examines cases where f'(x) is 0, positive, or negative, and where f''(x) is positive, negative, or changes sign, indicating points of inflection. The graphs shown have maxima, minima, points of inflection, and indications of concavity. Misdrawing an inflection point can alter the overall shape of the graph.

How Not to Graph f (x) = sin 63x:

Applications of the Mean Value Theorem:

If f 0(x) = 0 for all x in an interval, then f is constant there.

If f 0(x) > 0 for all x in an interval, then f is increasing there.

If f 0(x) < 0 for all x in an interval, then f is decreasing there.


More Applications of the Mean Value Theorem:

If f 00(x) > 0 for all x in an interval, then f 0 increases there.

The curve “cups up”, or is “concave upward”.

If f 00(x) < 0 for all x in an interval, then f 0 decreases there.

The curve “cups down”, or is “concave downward”.


Wherever f 00(x) changes sign, we have a Point of Inflection.

f 00(x) < 0
f 00(x) < 0

f 00(x) > 0
f 00(x) > 0

At an inflection point, f 00(x) usually equals 0 or doesn’t exist.
