The value of the derivative and what it tells me about f(x)
f’(x) is positive
Slope of the tangent line to f is positive
f is increasing at that point
f’(x) is negative
Slope of the tangent line to f is negative
f is decreasing at that point
f’(x) is zero
Slope of the tangent line to f is zero
f has a horizontal tangent line at that
point
The value of the derivative and what it tells me about f(x)
f’(x) is positive
Slope of the tangent line to f is positive
f is increasing at that point
f’(x) is negative
Slope of the tangent line to f is negative
f is decreasing at that point
f’(x) is zero
Slope of the tangent line to f is zero
f has a horizontal tangent line at that
point
Not all functions have a derivative at every single point!
When the limit exists, we say that the function is differentiable at a.

A function is NOT DIFFERENTIABLE if the graph has these characteristics:
