9. What conclusion can be made if:

a. A function changes from a decreasing interval to an increasing interval
If a function change from a decreasing to an increasing interval, we can make the
conclusion that a minimum is between the intervals

b.

10. If the minimum of the function

11. When finding one sided limits what does imply?

The assumption made in which direction zero is being approached is correct, and zero is being
approaching plus an infinitesimally small value.

12. When does a limit not exist?

i) When one sided limits aren’t equal
ii) When function does not approach a finite value
iii) When function doesn’t approach a particular value

13. What conditions must be met if a function is said to be continuous?

Two conditions need to be met:

i)
ii)

1. Domain
Function isn’t radical or rational, so there are no restrictions on the domain

2. Intercepts

3. Symmetry

4. Asymptotes
No asymptotes since no restrictions are there on the domain, function isn’t rational
5. Intervals of increase or decrease

Intervals Concavity

- Concave Downward

+ Concave upward
Assessment for grading: Curve Sketching

Function concaves downward during the interval and concaves upward during the

interval
8. Points of inflection
The function changes from concave downward to upward, hence there is an inflection point at

9. Sketching the curve

1. Domain
Since the function is rational, there are no restrictions on the domain.
As the denominator cannot be 0,

6. Maximum and minimum point

At the the function goes from decreasing to increasing, hence there is a
minimum.
