First derivative test f’<0 when x<a and f’>0 when x>a. What does that mean at x = a f’>0 when x<a and f’<0 when x>a. What does that mean at x = a
First derivative test a is a min a is a max f’<0 when x<a and f’>0 when x>a. What does that mean for x = a a is a min f’>0 when x<a and f’<0 when x>a. What does that mean for x = a a is a max
Second derivative Test f ’(a) = 0 and f ”(a)<0. What does that mean at f(a)? f ’(a) = 0 and f ”(a)>0. What does that mean at f(a)?
Second derivative Test f ’(a) = 0 and f ”(a)<0. What does that mean at f(a)? f(a) is a max f ’(a) = 0 and f ”(a)>0. What does that mean at f(a)? f(a) is a min
