1.

Label the maxima and minima and specify whether they are local or absolute
2. A. If the first derivative of a function is equal to zero at a given x value, is
that point always a maximum or minimum on the original function?
B. Draw the first and second derivative number lines for the above graph.
What do these number lines tell us about the graph?
3. Label the inflection points on the following graph. Draw the first and second
derivative number lines based on your observations. What is the slope of the
graph at x=0 ? Is the point corresponding to x=0 an inflection point?
4. A. If the second derivative of a function is equal to zero at a given x value,
is this point always going to be an inflection point on curve of the original
function?

inflection point at
x=0 ?
