3. Objectives:  To be able to use the derivative to analyze function  Draw the graph of the function based on the analysis  Apply the principles learned to problem situations

4. Example 1: Analyze and sketch y = x 5 - 5x

5. Example 2: Make the curve y = ax 4 + bx 3 + cx 2 + dx + e pass through the points (0,3) and (-2,7) and at (-1,4) have a point of inflection with a horizontal tangent line.

6. Example 3: Analyze and sketch a. y = 3x 5 - 5x 3 b. y = x 4 + 2x 3 - 1 c. y = 2x 3 - 3x 2 + 12x + 9

7. Example 4: On what interval is the function y = x 3 -4x 2 +5x concaved upward?

8. Example 5: Find the points of the curve, y = x 3 - x 2 – x +1, where the tangent line is horizontal.

9. Example 6: Find a cubic equation y = ax 3 +bx 2 +cx+d whose graph has a horizontal tangent line at (-2, 6) and (2, 0) and also find the point of inflection.

10. Example 7: Find the equations of both lines through the point (2, -3) that are tangent to the parabola y = x 2 + x.

11. Example 8: Make the curve y = ax 3 + bx 2 + cx+d pass through (0, 3) and have at (1, 2) a point of inflection with a horizontal tangent.

12. Example 9: Make the curve y = ax 4 + bx 3 + cx 2 + dx + e have a critical point at (0, 3) and have an inflection point at (1, 2) with inflection tangent 6x + y = 8.

13. Example 10: Make the curve y = ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d pass through (-1, -1) and have at (1, 3) an inflection point with inflectional tangent 4x – y = 1.

14. Example 11: Find a, b, c and d such that the function defined by y = ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d will have a relative extrema at (1, 2) and (2, 3).

15. Example 12: If y = ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d determine a, b, c and d so that the function will have a relative extremum at (0, 3) and so that the graph of the function will have a point of inflection at (1, -1).

16. Example 13: Find the parabola with equation y = ax 2 + bx whose tangent line at (1, 1) has equation y = 3x - 2.

17. Example 14: Find a cubic equation, y = ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d whose graph has horizontal tangents at (-2, 6) and (2, 0).
