cil The first and second derivatives of a function are the tools of calculus used to find the
smallest and the largest values of the function and to determine the behavior of
its graph,
Increasing and Decreasing Functions
Definition Ifthe graph of a function rises from left to right over an interval I itis
said to be increasing over I. Ifthe graph drops from left to right over
an interval I, it is said to be decreasing over I. Mathematically,
A function is increasing over an interval I, if for every a and 6 in I,
a f(b).

Derivatives can be used to determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing:
(i) if f"(x)> 0, forall in an intervall, then f is increasing on I.
ii) if f"(x)< 0, forallx in an intervall, then f is decreasing onl.
(iii) if f'(x)= 0, forallx in an intervall, then f is constant onl.
Critical Numbers
Definition A critical number of a function is any number cin the domain of f at
which the function has a horizontal tangent or at which the derivative
does not exist. That is, c is a critical number of the graph of f if
fi(c)=0 or — f'(c) does not exist.
Critical numbers are values of x where the derivative f (x) can change
signs from negative to positive
Ifthe critical numbers of a polynomial function are used to determine the open inter-
vals ona number line, then the sign of the derivative at any number in an interval will be the
same all throughout the interval. The following are the steps to test whether the function is
increasing or decreasing, provided that no open interval exists where the function is constant.
1. Find the values of x for which f(x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist. Plot these points on
anumber line. These points partition the real number line into several open intervals.
. Pick a value of x in each interval and test whether f(x) > 0 or f(x) <0.
3. If f(z) > 0, the function is increasing over that interval, and it is decreasing if
Fi) < 0.

Example 2
Choosing x=-5 gives f(-5) = 3(-5 + 3) (-5 + 1) =3 (-2)( -4) = 24,
which is positive. Since one value of x in this interval makes f(x) > 0,
all values will make it so, and therefore f is increasing on (~co,—3).
On the other hand, if -2 is used as a test point in the interval (~3, —1), then
Sf (-2) = 3(-2 +3) (-24+1 (1)(-1) =-3, which is negative. This means
that f is decreasing on (~3,-1).
Using 5 as a test point in the interval (~1, co), we have
f'(5) = 3(5 +3) (5 + 1) =3 (8)( 6) = 144 which is positive.
This means that f is increasing on (~1, «).
Since a horizontal line has a slope of 0, horizontal tangents can be found by
solving for f(x) =[Link] shown above, f(x) =0 when x=~3 and -1. Now,
we have anew tool in graphing polynomial functions in addition to the plotting
of several points, that is, the test for determining the open intervals where the
function is increasing or decreasing.

This derivative is never 0, and it fails to exist when x = 2. However 2 is not a critical
number since f(x) does not exist atx =2; thatis, 2 is notin the domain of f. Thus, the
function has no critical numbers. Since the line x= 2 is a vertical asymptote for the graph of
fit separates the domain into two intervals (co, 2) and (2, «). Functions can change
direction from one side of a vertical asymptote to the other. Using a test point in each of these
intervals, we find that f'(x) is always negative for all x except 2. This means that the
function f is decreasing on both intervals, (2, 2) and (2, ~).

of the first derivative affects the behavior of the curve.

Maxima-Minima Problems
One of the most important applications of the derivative is in the solving of maximum-
minimum problems, where some function must be maximized or minimized. Finding the
extrema (absolute minimum or absolute maximum) for real-life problems requires an accurate
mathematical model of the problem
Suppose the function fis continuous over the interval / containing the number c.
If f(c) is a relative extremum of fon / and c is the only number in J for which fhas a relative
extremum, then f(c) is an absolute extremum of fon I.

Decide which variable is to be maximized or minimized.
Express that variable as a function of one other variable.
Find the critical points for the function from step 3. The critical points are the values
that would make the first derivative equal to 0. The critical point is maximum
if it makes the second derivative negative. It is minimum if it makes the second
derivative positive.
Check for the extrema at any endpoint of the domain of the function in step 3.

Differentials
6.1 Differe
We have used dy/dx to denote the derivative of y with respect to x and treat dy/dx as.
a single symbol, not as a ratio of dy and dx. We now define dy and dx. These symbols are
called differentials.
For y = f(x), we define
dx, called the differential of the independent variable x, as Ax
and
dy, called the differential of the dependent of variable y, as f"(x)dx.
It should be noted that dx (or Ax) is another independent variable and the value
of dy depends on the two independent variables x and dx.
‘We can represent dx and dy geometrically. Note
that while de = Ax, dy~ Ay. We know that
f(x) represents the slope of the tangent to the
curve y = f (x) at the point x. Even though
dx = Ax, the differential dy is not the same as
the increment in y, i.e. dy # Ay.
‘We can use dy as an approximation of Ay provided that Ay is sufficiently small.
Ay wdy= f'(x)de
Thus, since Av = f(x+Ax) ~ f(D

In implicit differentiation we differentiate an equation involving x and y, with y treated
as a function of x. A related rates problem involves two or more quantities that may vary
with time and an equation that expresses some relationship between these equations. Often
the formulas for x and y as functions of ¢ are not known. When we differentiate such an
a&
equation with respect to ¢, we derive a relationship between the rates of change 2 and
‘We say that these derivatives are related rates. The equation relating the rates may be used
to find one of the rates when the other is known.

The Antiderivatives
In the previous chapters, we were working on problems that involved finding the
derivative of a given function. We also studied some applications of the derivative. In this,
chapter we will be devoted to the problems of finding the function when the derivative is,
given. The process of finding the function whose derivative is given is called
antidifferentiation; it is the reverse of differentiation.
Definition
If F'(x) = f(x), then F(x) is an antiderivative of f (x)
Example 1 a) If F(x) = 16x, then F"(x) =16, so F(x) = 16x is an antiderivative of
F(x) = 16.
b) If F(x) = 12x?, then F'(x) =24x, making F(x) = 12x? an
antiderivative of (x) = 24x.

The function defined by F(x) = x? is not the only function whose derivative is
f(x) = 2x. The functions G(x) = x7+ 6 and H(x) = x?- 3 also have f(x) = 2x asa
derivative. In fact for any real number C, F(x) = x* + C has f(x) = 2xas derivative. This
shows that there is a family or class of functions having 2xas derivative. We shall make use
of the fact that if two functions F(x) and G(x) have the same derivative for all values of x in
the interval a< x < b, then F(x) and G(x) differ by a constant, that is F(x) ~ G(x) = C.
If F(x) and G(x) are both antiderivatives of a function f(x), then there is a constant
C such that
F(x) ~ G(x) = C

The Definite Integral
Suppose you know the rate f(x, & at which a certain quantity is changing and
wish to find the amount by which the quantity F will change between x =a and.x=b.
You would first find F by antidifferentiation and then compute the difference
Change in F F(b) = F(a)
between x =a and x
‘The numerical result of such a computation is called a definite integral of the
6
function fand is denoted by the symbol J f(x)
The definite integral of f from a to b is denoted by
[2 rl)de = FO)|” = F)- Fl)
where F is an antiderivative of f. That is, the definite integral is the net change in
and x= b,
the antiderivative between x
The symbol Pr@ar is read as“ the (definite) integral of f from a to 6.”
This notation suggests that we first find an antiderivative F (x) of f(x). Then we write
»
as an aid in computing F(b) ~ F(a). Specifically, we first replace x by the upper
limit b, obtaining F(b), and from this subtract the value F(a) by setting x =a.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus does not define the definite integral. It merely
provides a method for evaluating the definite integral.
Example 1 fi 3x - 1)dx
Notice what happens to the constant C in the evaluation of a definite integral.
It appears in the expressions for both F(b) and F(a) and is eventually
eliminated through subtraction of F(b) and F(a). We may therefore omit the
constant C altogether when evaluating definite integrals.
