Section 3.1 – Critical Numbers and Absolute Extrema on an Interval
![Page 3: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Critical Numbers
Critical numbers are x values on a continuous function at which f’(x) = 0 or f’(x) DNE.
What would these places look like on a graph?
1. Horizontal Tangents (Min/Max/half and half)2. Vertical Tangents3. Cusp

Uses of critical numbers
Critical numbers are locations where relative minimums and maximums are possible.
They are also possible locations for absolute extrema of a function.
![Page 6: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Locating Absolute Extrema on a closed intervalThe location of the absolute minimum and absolute maximum of a function on a closed interval must be located at one of two places.

Section 3.2 – Rolle’s Theorem and Mean Value
Theorem
![Page 10: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rolle’s Theorem
Rolle’s Theorem states that on a continuous and differentiable interval between b and c, If f(b) = f(c), Then there is at least one number in between (we’ll call it d) where f’(d) = 0.Stated otherwise, if you place two points on a graph with the same y value, no matter how you connect them there will be at least one point in between with a horizontal tangent.
![Page 11: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why is Rolle’s Theorem Helpful
Rolle’s Theorem is typically used to prove that a function has to have a relative minimum or a relative minimum. This is helpful when finding a derivative and setting it equal to zero is very cumbersome.
![Page 12: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Using Rolle’s Theorem
Consider the polynomial f(x)=(x-1)(x-3)(x-6)
Using Rolle’s Theorem, explain why f(x) must have at least two locations where f’(x) = 0.

Places Where Rolle’s Theorem Does Not ApplyBelow is the graph of f(x) = cot(x) from –π to π . f(-π/2)=0 and f(π/2)=0. Rolle’s Theorem states that if you place two points on a graph with the same y value, no matter how you connect them there will be at least one point in between with a horizontal tangent.Why does Rolle’s Theorem not apply here?
The graph is not continuous.

Mean Value Theorem
The mean value theorem is an extension of Rolle’s Theorem.
It states that on an interval (a,b) where the function is continuous and differentiable, the exists some point c where

Illustration of the Mean Value Theorem
According to the mean value theorem there must be at least one other point between a and b with a derivative equal to that slope.
Our eyes can easily confirm this is true by locating the tangent line with the same slope.

Using the Mean Value Theorem - SpeedingPolice recently installed two traffic cameras for recording license plate numbers on a highway where the speed limit is 65 MPH. You are the clerk for a county judge working on a case where a man received the following ticket in the mail. The man is contesting the ticket on the grounds that at no point did the police actually record him speeding with a radar gun. Your job is to provide a legal basis for the ticket to your boss.

Domain can be written in two ways: 1. Based on what is defined 2. Based on what isn’t defined. In Calculus we usually write the domain based on what is defined.

Increasing and Decreasing FunctionsIf f(x) is a continuous and differentiable function on the interval (a,b),Then:
1.f’(x) > 0 for all x in (a,b) iff f(x) is increasing on the interval (a,b)2.f’(x) < 0 for all x in (a,b) iff f(x) is decreasing on the interval (a,b)3.f’(x) = 0 for all x in (a,b) iff f(x) is constant on the interval (a,b)

First Derivative TestThe first derivative test requires an understanding of increasing and decreasing functions to determine relative minimums and maximums.
A relative maximum is a point where the function is increasing on the left and decreasing on the right.
A relative minimum is a point where the function is decreasing on the left and increasing on the right.

Concavity: Concave Up vs. Concave Down
![Page 37: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Relationship between concavity and the second derivative
When a function is concave down the first derivative is decreasing, so the second derivative is negative.
When a function is concave up the first derivative is increasing, so the second derivative is positive.

Inflection Point
On a continuous function, a point is an inflection point if the graph changes from concave up to concave down (or vise versa) at that location.
An inflection point can also be described at a location where to second derivative changes from positive to negative (or vise versa).
At an inflection point, f’’(x)=0 or it does not exist.

Second Derivative Test
The second derivative test applies the following understanding to determine which critical numbers are relative minimums and which are relative maximums.
A relative maximum is always located on a section of the graph that is concave down, f’’(x) < 0

Limits at Infinity look at what happens to a function as its x values increase or decrease without bound.
Consider the function
Hopefully, you will notice that the limits as x approaches infinity and negative infinity mirror what you learned in PreCalculus about horizontal asymptotes.

Section 3.7 – Optimization

Optimization
Optimization is the process of applying our understanding of relative maximums and minimums to word problems. In science, business, and product design the best and worst scenarios are found by setting the first derivative equal to zero.
![Page 81: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Two numbers add up to 42. What is the most their product could be?We are going to use the idea that relative extrema are found where f’(x)=0 to solve this problem, but first we must write an equation.
First # = xSecond # = 42 – xTherefore theProduct = x (42-x) = 42x-x2
We can graph this function to get a feel for what it looks like.
Why did I choose Xmin=0 Xmax=42?
![Page 82: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Let’s find the first derivative
Product = 42x-x2
Product’=42-2xWe find the relative extrema by setting Product’ = 0.0=42-2x2x=42x=21Remember the First # = x and the Second # = 42 – xFirst # = 21, Second # = 21, with product of 441.
We do want to be sure this is a maximum and not a minimum. Let’s use the 2nd derivative test.Product’’= -2So Product’’(21)=-2Consider our smiley face test. A negative 2nd derivative is frowning, concave down, and contains a maximum.
![Page 83: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
You are given 4 feet of wire, with which you are to make a square and circle. What size square and circle will result in the most combined area?Within the problem we find two equations.4 ft = (circumference of circle) + (perimeter of square)4 = 2πr + 4xArea = (area of circle) + (area of square)Area = πr2 + x2
Are there any restrictions on the value of x?
![Page 84: Chapter 3 – Spring 2014](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681427a550346895dae9fe2/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
We need to substitute one equation into the other to eliminate a variable.4 = 2πr + 4xArea = πr2 + x2

Let’s take a look at the 2nd derivative at x=1 to verify x=1 is a max.Area’’ = 2Area’’(1) = 2Since Area’’ is positive the face is smiling, the graph is concave up, and therefore x=1 is a minimum, instead of a maximum!!
Let’s take a look at the graph. Consider the restrictions…
On a closed interval where are the possible locations of the extrema?1.Critical Numbers2.Endpoints.
The best solution here is x = 0. The circle gets everything.
