8 Theorem 210 (extreme value theorem) If y = f(x) is continuous on a close interval [a, b], then f has both a minimum an a maximum on the interval Definition:(relative extrema) 1 If open interval containing c on which f(c) is a maximum, then f(c) is calle a relative maximum of f, or f has a relative maximum at (c, f(c)) 2 If open interval containing c on which f(c) is a minimum, then f(c) is calle a relative minimum of f, or f has a relative minimum at (c, f(c)) Definition:(critical numbers) Let f be efine on c If f (c) = 0 or f is Not ifferentiable at c, then c is a critical number of f Theorem 210 If f has a relative minimum or relative maximum at c, then c is a critical number of f proof (i) If f is Not ifferentiable, then by efinition c is a critical number (ii) If f is ifferentiable at x = c, f (x) is > 0, = 0, < 0 If f (c) > 0, ie f (c) = f(x) f(c) > 0 This implies that f(x) f(c) > 0 in a neighborhoo of x c x c c, x c left of c, x < c, an f(x) < f(c) f(c) is Not a relative minimum, right of c, x > c, an f(x) > f(c) f(c) is Not a relative maximum So, f (c) > 0 contraicts the hypothesis that f(c) is a relative extremum Fining extreme on a close interval [a, b] 1 Fin the critical numbers of f in (a, b) 2 Evaluate f at each critical number 3 Evaluate f at the enpoints a an b 4 The least of these is the minimum an the largest is the maximum Examples Fin the extrema of f(x) = 2x 3x 2 3 on [ 1, 3] p Rolle s theorem an the MVT Theorem 33 (Rolle) f: continuous on [a, b] an ifferentiable on (a, b) If f(a) = f(b), then c (a, b) st f (c) = 0 8

9 proof (a) If f(x) = = f(a) = f(b), f is const on the interval [a, b], f (x) = 0 for any x (a, b) (b) If f(x) > for some x (a, b) By extreme value theorem, f has a maximum at some point c in the interval Since f(c) >, the maximum is NOT at the enpoints This implies that f(c) is relative maximum, by theorem f c = 0, since f is ifferentiable at c (c) If f(x) < for some x (a, b), we get a relative minimum by the argument above Theorem 34 (MVT) If f is continuous on [a, b] an ifferentiable on (a, b), then c (a, b) st f (c) = f(b) f(c) b a proof Define the function g(x) by g(x) = f(x) f(b) f(c) (x a) f(a) b a Then g(a) = 0 = g(b), g is continuous on [a, b] an ifferentiable on (a, b) By Rolle s theorem c (a, b) st g (c) = 0 Now 0 = g (c) = f (c) = f(b) f(c) b a ie f (c) = f(b) f(c) b a EX 3 p Increasing an ecreasing functions an the 1 st erivative test Definition: A function f is increasing on an interval I if for any x 1, x 2 I, x 1 < x 2 implies that f(x 1 ) < f(x 2 ) ecreasing on an interval I if for any x 1, x 2 I, x 1 < x 2 implies that f(x 1 ) > f(x 2 ) Theorem 35 Test for increasing an ecreasing f: continuous on [a, b], ifferentiable on (a, b) 1 If f (x) > 0 x I, then f is increasing on [a, b] 2 If f (x) < 0 x I, then f is ecreasing on [a, b] 1 If f (x) = 0 x I, then f is constant on [a, b] 9

10 proof If f (x) > 0 x I For any x 1, x 2 (a, b) with x 1 < x 2 By MVT x 1 < c < x 2 st f (c) = f(x 2) f(x 1 ) x 2 x 1 > 0 f(x 2 ) > f(x 1 ) ie f is increasing on (a, b) Examples 1 p180 Fining functions on which a function is increasing or ecreasing 1 Locate the critical numbers of f in (a, b), an use these numbers to etermine the test intervals 2 In each of the intervals, etermine the sign of f (x) at one testnumber 3 Use the above Theorem 35 Theorem 36 c is a critical number of f that is continuous on an open interval I containing c If f is ifferentiable on the interval, except possibly at c, then 1 If f (x) changes from negative to positive at c, then f has a relative minimum at (c, f(c)) 2 If f (x) changes from positive to negative at c, then f has a relative maximum at (c, f(c)) 3 If f (x) is positive on both sies of c or is negative on sies of c, then f neither a relative minimum nor a relative minimum Examples 3, 4 p Concavity an 2 n erivative test Definition: f: ifferentiable on I, The graph of f is concave upwar on I if f (x) is increasing on I, concave ownwar on I if f (x) is ecreasing on I The above are equivalent to the following: f is concave upwar on I the graph of f lies above of its tangent lines on I f is concave ownwar on I the graph of f lies below of its tangent lines on I 10

11 Theorem 37(Test for concavity) f function on I whose 2 n erivative exists on I 1If f (x) > 0 for all x I, then f is concave upwar on I 2If f (x) < 0 for all x I, then f is concave ownwar on I Definition: f: continuous on open interval I, c I If the graph of f has a tangent line at the point (c, f(c)), then the point (c, f(c)) is a point of inflection of f is the concavity of f changes from upwar to ownwar(or ownwar to upwar) Theorem 38 If (c, f(c)) is a point of inflection, then either f (x) = 0 or f oes Not exist at x = c Examples f(x) = x 4 4x 3 Fin the points of inflection f (x) > 0 = 4x 3 12x 2 f (x) = 12x 2 24x = 12x(x 2) f (x) = 0 x = 0, 2 - < x < 0 0 < x < 2 2 < x < test value x = 1 x = 1 x = 3 f ( 1) > 0 f (1) < 0 f (3) > 0 -upwar ownwar upwar Theorem 38 2 n erivative test f: a function st f (c) = 0 an f (x) exists on an open interval containing c 1 If f (c) > 0, then f has a relative minimum at (c, f(c)) 2 If f (c) < 0, then f has a relative maximum at (c, f(c)) If f (c) = 0, the test fails That is, f may have a relative maximum, relative minimum or neither In this case, we shoul use 1 st erivative test 35 Limits an infinity Definition: L: a real number 1 f(x) = L means that for every ɛ > 0, M > 0 st f(x) L < ɛ whenever x > M 2 f(x) = L means that for every ɛ > 0, N < 0 st f(x) L < ɛ x whenever x < N 11

12 In both cases, we say that y = L is a horizontal asymptote for the function f(x) as x Theorem 38 Limits at infinity IF t > 0 rational number, c is any real number, then c = 0 x r If x r is efine for x < 0, then c = 0 x x r If Ex 3, 4, 5 f(x), (f(x) + g(x))= (f(x)g(x))= g(x) exists, then f(x)+ g(x), f(x) g(x) Definition: 1 f(x) = means f(x) > M whenever x > N 36 A summary an sketching Guie lines: 1 Determine the omain an range of the function 2 Deter the intercepts, asymptotes an symmetry of the graph 3 Locate the x-value for which f (x) an f (x) either are zero or o Not exist Use these results to etermine relative extreme an points of inflection Examples 1, 2, 4, Differentials The tangent line at (c, f(c)) is y = f(c) + f (c)(x = c) when x c x is vert small, the change y = f(c + x) f(c)can be approximate by y = f(c + x) f(c) f (c) x (1) 12

13 When x 0, enote it by, we then efine the ifferential to y = f (x) Examples 2, before 4, 5 (1) f(x + x) f(x) + y = f(x) + f (x) x 13
