How Not to Graph f (x) = sin 63x: sin 63x

sin 63x 



















Applications of the Mean Value Theorem:

If f 0(x) = 0 for all x in an interval, then f is constant there.

If f 0(x) > 0 for all x in an interval, then f is increasing there.

If f 0(x) < 0 for all x in an interval, then f is decreasing there.

More Applications of the Mean Value Theorem: If f 00(x) > 0 for all x in an interval, then f 0 increases there.

The curve “cups up”, or is “concave upward”.

If f 00(x) < 0 for all x in an interval, then f 0 decreases there.

The curve “cups down”, or is “concave downward”.

Wherever f 00(x) changes sign, we have a Point of Inflection.

f 00(x) < 0

f 00(x) < 0 f 00(x) > 0

f 00(x) > 0

At an inflection point, f 00(x) usually equals 0 or doesn’t exist.

f <0

f (x) = x3 − x4
