Learning Outcome: Sketch the graph of a function using extreme value theorem, mean value
theorem, first derivative test, concavity and points of inflection (i.e. second derivative test) and
limits at infinity.

Lesson: Extreme Value Theorem, Mean Value Theorem, First Derivative Test, Concavity and
Points of Inflection (i.e. second derivative test), Limits at Infinity and Curve Sketching

General Instructions: Consider the given steps to sketch the graph of the functions.

Functions to be graphed:
2𝑥
1. 𝑦 = 2
𝑥 2−1
𝑥 2
2. 𝑓(𝑥) =
√𝑥+1
3. 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝑥
𝑥
4. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3
𝑥2+1
5. 𝑦 = 1 − 3𝑥 + 5𝑥2 − 𝑥3

Steps:
1. Domain. The first step is to determine the domain D of f, that is, the set of values of x
for which f(x) is defined.
2. Intercepts. The y-intercept is f(0) and tells us where the curve intersects the y-axis.
To find the x-intercepts, we set y = 0 ad solve for x. (If this is not easily done, the intercepts
could be estimated.)
3. Symmetry.
(i)If f(-x) = f(x) for all x in D, that is the equation of the curve is unchanged when
x is replaced by –x, then f is an even function and the curve is symmetric about the y-axis. This
means that our work is cut in half. If we know what the curve looks like for x≥0, then we need
only reflect about the y-axis to obtain the complete curve. Some examples are 𝑦 = 𝑥 2, 𝑦 = 𝑥 4,
𝑦=
|𝑥| 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥.
(ii) If f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in D, then f is an odd function and the curve is
symmetric about the origin. Again we can obtain the complete curve if we know what it looks like
for x≥0. Some simple examples of odd function are 𝑦 = 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑥 3, 𝑦 = 𝑥5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥.
(iii)If (x+p) = f(x) for all x in D, where p is a positive constant, then f is called a
periodic function and the smallest such number p is called the period. For instance, y=sin x
has a period 2∏ and y=tan x has a period ∏. If we know what the graph looks like in an interval
of length p, then we can use translation to sketch the entire graph.
4. Asymptotes.
(i) Horizontal Asymptotes. Either lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝐿 𝑜𝑟 lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝐿 then the line
𝑥→∞ 𝑥→−∞
y=L is a horizontal asymptote of the curve y = f(x). If it turns out that lim 𝑓(𝑥) = ∞ (𝑜𝑟 − ∞), then
𝑥→∞
we do not have an asymptote to the right, but that is still useful information for sketching the
curve.
(ii) Vertical Asymptote. The line x = a is a vertical asymptote if at least one of
the following statements is true:
1. lim 𝑓(𝑥) = ∞
+
𝑥→𝑎
2. lim− 𝑥→𝑎 +
𝑥→𝑎 4. lim+
3. lim 𝑥→𝑎
𝑓(𝑥) = ∞ 𝑓(𝑥) = −∞
𝑓(𝑥) = −∞
(For rational functions you can locate the vertical asymptotes by equating the denominator to 0
after canceling any common factors. But for other functions this method does not apply.)
Furthermore, in sketching the curve, it is very useful to know exactly which of the statements
mentioned is true. If f(a) is not defined but a is an endpoint of the domain of f, then you should
compute lim− 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑜𝑟 lim + 𝑓(𝑥), whether or not this limit is infinite.
𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎
5. Intervals of Increase of Decrease. Use the Test for Monotonic Functions. Compute
𝑓′(𝑥) and find the intervals on which 𝑓′(𝑥) is positive (f is increasing) and the intervals on which
𝑓′(𝑥) is negative (f is decreasing).
6. Local Maximum and Minimum Values. Find the critical numbers of f (the numbers c
where 𝑓 ′(𝑐) = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑓′(𝑐) does not exist.). The use the First Derivative Test. If 𝑓′ changes from
positive to negative at a critical number c, then f(c) is a local maximum. If 𝑓′ changes from
negative to positive at c, then f(c) is a local minimum. Although it is usually preferable to use the
First Derivative Test, you can use the Second Derivative Test if c is a critical number such that 𝑓
′′(𝑐) ≠
0. Then𝑓′′(𝑐) > 0 implies that f(c) is a local minimum, whereas 𝑓′′(𝑐) < 0 implies that f(c) is a
local maximum.
7. Concavity and Points of Inflection. Compute 𝑓′′(𝑥) and use the Test for Concavity. The
curve is concave upward where 𝑓′′(𝑥) > 0 and concave downward where 𝑓′′ < 0. Inflection
points occur where the direction of concavity changes.
8. Sketch the Curve. Using the information in items 1-7, draw the graph. Draw in the
asymptotes as broken line. Plot the intercepts, maximum and minimum points and inflection
points. Then make the curve pass through these points, rising and falling according to item 5,
with concavity according to item 7 and approaching the asymptotes. If additional accuracy is
desired near any point, you can compute the value of the derivative there. The tangent indicates
the direction in which the curve proceeds.
