Using First Derivatives to Find Maximum and Minimum Values and Sketch Graphs
DEFINITIONS:
A function f is increasing over I if, for every a and b in I, if a < b, then f (a) < f (b).(If the input a is less than the input b, then the output for a is less than the output for b.
A function f is decreasing over I if, for every a and b in I, if a < b, then f (a) > f (b).(If the input a is less than the input b, then the output for a is greater than the output for b.)

A function is increasing when its graph rises as it goes from left to right. A function is decreasing when its graph falls as it goes from left to right.

THEOREM 1
If f(x) > 0 for all x in an interval I, then f is increasing over I.
If f(x) < 0 for all x in an interval I, then f is decreasing over I.

DEFINITION:
A critical value of a function f is any number c in the domain of f for which the tangent line at (c, f (c)) is horizontal or for which the derivative does not exist. That is, c is a critical value if f (c) exists and
f (c) = 0 or f (c) does not exist.

Using First Derivatives to Find Maximum and Minimum Values and Sketch Graphs
DEFINITIONS:
Let I be the domain of f :
f (c) is a relative minimum if there exists within I an open interval I1 containing c such that f (c) ≤ f (x) for
all x in I1;
and
F (c) is a relative maximum if there exists within I an open interval I2 containing c such that f (c) ≥ f (x) for
all x in I2.

THEOREM 2
If a function f has a relative extreme value f (c) on an open interval; then c is a critical value. So,
f (c) = 0 or f (c) does not exist.

THEOREM 3: The First-Derivative Test for
Relative Extrema
For any continuous function f that has exactly one critical value c in an open interval (a, b);
F1. f has a relative minimum at c if f (x) < 0 on(a, c) and f (x) > 0 on (c, b). That is, f is decreasing to the left of c and increasing to the right of c.

THEOREM 3: The First-Derivative Test for
Relative Extrema (continued)
F2. f has a relative maximum at c if f (x) > 0 on(a, c) and f (x) < 0 on (c, b). That is, f is increasing to the left of c and decreasing to the right of c.
F3. f has neither a relative maximum nor a relative minimum at c if f (x) has the same sign on (a, c) and (c, b).

Example 1: Graph the function f given by
and find the relative extrema.
Suppose that we are trying to graph this function but do not know any calculus. What can we do? We can plot a few points to determine in which direction the graph seems to be turning. Let’s pick some x-valuesand see what happens.

2.1 Using First Derivatives to Find Maximum and Minimum Values and Sketch Graphs
Example 1 (continued): We can see some features of the graph from the sketch.
Now we will calculate the coordinates of these features precisely.
1st find a general expression for the derivative.
2nd determine where f (x) does not exist or where f (x) = 0. (Since f (x) is a polynomial, there is no value where f (x) does not exist. So, the only possibilities for critical values are where f (x) = 0.)

2.1 Using First Derivatives to Find Maximum and Minimum Values and Sketch Graphs
Example 1 (concluded):Therefore, by the First-Derivative Test,
f has a relative maximum at x = –1 given by
Thus, (–1, 19) is a relative maximum.
And f has a relative minimum at x = 2 given by
Thus, (2, –8) is a relative minimum.
