Theorem 1: Intermediate Value Theorem

Definition: A function y=f(x) that is continuous on a closed interval [a,b] takes on every value between f(a) and f(b).

Ifuis a number between f (a) andf (b), f (a) 0 then f(x) is concave up

f (x) is decreasing or f (x) 0(c) x < -2 or x > -2/3 (d) x2 (e)2/3 < x < 2

Correct answer is e

2.

The graph of the function f is shown above. For which of the following values of x if f (x) positive and increasing(a)a (b)b (c)c (d)d (e)ee b/c f is increasing thus f (x) is positive and f is concave up thus f (x) is increasing

Theorem 5: Extreme Value TheoremDefinition: if a real-valued function f is continuous in the closed and bounded interval [a,b], then f must attain a maximum and a minimum, each at least once. That is, there exist numbers c and d in [a,b] such that

Algebraic Example:

Find the Min and Max values of on [-2,2]

Because x=9/4 is not in the interval [2,2], the only critical point occurs at x = 0 which is (0,1). The function values at the endpoints of the interval are f(2)=9 and f(2)=39; hence, the maximum function value 39 at x = 2, and the minimum function value is 9 at x = 2. ExtremaAbsolute vs. Relative Extrema:Let f be a function defined on some interval and c be a number in that interval.

An absolute maximum of the function f occurs at (c,f(c)) if for every x value in the interval.

An absolute minimum of the function f occurs at (c,f(c)) if for every x value in the interval.

The point (c,f(c)) is a relative maximum of a function f if there exists an open interval a,b in the domain of f containing c such that for all x in a,b

The point (c,f(c)) is a relative maximum of a function f if there exists an open interval a,b in the domain of f containing c such that for all x in a,b

3 Ways to Find Extrema:Comparison of Function values:

Abs Max Value = 22 at x =3Relative Max =-.0887 at x=

Abs Min value = -20 at x=-3Relative Min=2.0887 at Abs Max b/c highest y value Relative Max b/c f (x) goes + to Abs Mix b/c lowest y value Relative Min b/c f (x) goes to +

First Derivative Test:If f (c) = 0 or DNE and f (x) changes from + to at x=c, then f(c) is a relative max.

If f(c) = 0 or DNE and f (x) changes from to + at x=c, then f(c) is a relative min.

Max b/c it goes +to - on f Min b/c it goes to +
