(FirstNameLastName_SUMMATIVEASSESSMENT2_Q2)
I. KNOWLEDGE: Choose the letter of the correct answer for each item using the
choices below.
A. If statements A and B are BOTH TRUE.
B. If statement A is TRUE and statement B is FALSE.
C. If statement B is TRUE and statement A is FALSE.
D. If statements A and B are BOTH FALSE.

1. A. To determine the critical point/s in the graph of the given function, we use f’(x)=0.
B. To determine the point/s of inflection in the graph of the given function, we use f”(x)=0.
2. A. The slope of an increasing function can be 0.
B. The slope of a decreasing function indicates that if x1>x2, then f(x1)>f(x2).
3. A. In an open interval (a,b), if f’(x)>0 then the function is increasing over the interval.
B. In an open interval (a,b), if f’(x)<0 then the function is decreasing over the interval.
4. A. If c is a critical point, then automatically f’(c)=0.
B. If c is a critical point, then automatically f’(c) does not exist.
5. A. In a given interval (a,b), if the derivatives in the intervals (a,c) is increasing and (c,b) is
decreasing, then it indicates the relative minimum value.
B. In a given interval (a,b), if the derivatives in the intervals (a,c) and (c,b) are increasing and
decreasing respectively, then it indicates the relative maximum value.
6. A. The relative extreme value/s may exist in interval (a,b) when the derivatives are al
increasing/decreasing.
B. The critical point can be the point of inflection.
7. A. When the f’(x) exists and the curve is concave up then its derivatives are increasing in the given
interval.
B. When the f’(x) exists and the curve is concave down then its derivatives are decreasing in the
given interval.
8. A. If f’(x)<0 and f”(x)>0, then the curve is concave down and increasing.
B. If f’(x)>0 and f”(x)<0, then the curve is concave up and decreasing.
9. A. In determining the relative extrema, when f’(x)=0 then f”(x)=0 may not be used.
B. In determining the relative extrema, when f”(x)=0 then f’(x)=0 will be used.
10. A. If f”(c)=0 then the direction of concavity changes.
B.If f’(c)=0 then the tangent line is either horizontally or vertically drawn.
II. PROCESS:
Compute for the relative extreme values of the following functions using the 1 st
Derivative Test. Show your complete solution and state the following:
 The interval where the function is increasing
 The interval where the function is decreasing
 The relative maximum (x,y) point of the function
 The relative minimum (x,y) of the function

11-15. f(x)=x3-6x2+9x+1

16-20. f(x)=1/5 x5-5/3 x3+4x+1

2/3
21-25. f(x)=2-3(x-4)

Compute for the relative extreme values using the 2nd derivative test. Show your
complete solution and state the following
 Intervals where the graph is concave up and down
 Point of inflection
 Relative maximum (x,y)
 Relative minimum (x,y)

26-30. f(x)=(1-2x)3

31-35. f(x)=x4+4/3 x3-4x2

36-40. f(x)=2/(x2+3)

III. UNDERSTANDING: Answer the following questions. Your answer will be graded
according to the following:

4 The answer provides the complete and essential explanations/ideas regarding the question/s chosen
3 The answer provides some essential explanations/ideas regarding the question/s chosen
2 The answer provides initial explanations/ideas regarding the question/s chosen
1 The answer does not provide any explanation/idea regarding the question/s chosen

41-44. Explain why critical points have derivatives that are either 0 or does not exist.

45-48. Why is the second derivative equated to zero when you are computing for the point/s
of inflection?

49-52. How useful are the first derivative and second derivative in sketching the graph of a
function manually?

53-56. For you, what is the importance of learning relative extreme values in Calculus?

57-60. Explain when you would use the second derivative test to determine the relative
extrema and when you would use the first derivative test. Indicate the advantages and
disadvantages of each test.
