Graph of the Function y = f(x)
The graph of a function y = f(x) may be plotted using Differential Calculus. Consider the graph shownbelow.
As x increases, the curve rises if the slope is positive, as of arc AB; it falls if the slope is negative, as
of arc BC.
Relative Maximum and Minimum Points
At a point such as B, where the function is algebraically greater than that of any neighboring point,
the point is said to have a maximum value, and the point is called a maximum point (relative toadjacent points). Similarly at D, the function has a minimum value (relative to adjacent points). At
maximum or minimum points, the tangent is horizontal or the slope is zero.

This does not necessarily mean that at these points the function is maximum or minimum. It does
only mean that the tangent is parallel to the x-axis, or the curve is eitherconcave up orconcave
down. The points at which dy/dx = 0 are called critical points, and the corresponding values of x
are critical values.
The second derivative of a function is the rate of change of the first derivative or the rate of changeof the slope. It follows that as x increases and y" is positive, y' is increasing and the tangent turns in
a counterclockwise direction and the curve is concave upward. When y" is negative, y' decreases
and the tangent turns in the clockwise direction and the curve is concave downward.
If y' = 0 and y" is negative (i.e. y" < 0), the point is a maximum point (concave downward).
If y' = 0 and y" is positive (i.e. y" > 0), the point is a minimum point (concave upward).
Points of Inflection
A point of inflection is a point at which the curve changes from concave upward to concavedownward or vice versa (see point E from the figure). At these points the tangent changes its
rotation from clockwise to counterclockwise or vice versa.
At points of inflection, the second derivative of y is zero (y" = 0).
pplication of Maxima and MinimaTags:maxima and minima
As an example, the area of a rectangular lot, expressed in terms of its length and width, may also beexpressed in terms of the cost of fencing. Thus the area can be expressed as A = f(x). The common
task here is to find the value of x that will give a maximum value of A. To find this value, we set
dA/dx = 0.
Steps in Solving Maxima and Minima Problems
1. Identify the constant, say cost of fencing.
2. Identify the variable to be maximized or minimized, say area A.
3. Express this variable in terms of the other relevant variable(s), say A = f(x, y).
4. If the function shall consist of more than one variable, expressed it in terms of one variable (if
possible and practical) using the conditions in the problem, say A = f(x).5. Differentiate and equate to zero, dA/dx = 0.

Time Rates
If a quantity x is a function of time t, the time rate of change of x is given by dx/dt.
When two or more quantities, all functions of t, are related by an equation, the relation between their
rates of change may be obtained by differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to t.
Basic Time Rates
Velocity, , where is the distance.
Acceleration, , where is velocity and is the distance.
Discharge, , where is the volume at any time.
Angular Speed, , where is the angle at any time.
Steps in Solving Time Rates Problem
1. Identify what are changing and what are fixed.
2. Assign variables to those that are changing and appropriate value (constant) to those that
are fixed.
3. Create an equation relating all the variables and constants in Step 2.
4. Differentiate the equation with respect to time.
