One of the great applications of calculus One of the great applications of calculus (particularly in economics) is to determine the (particularly in economics) is to determine the “maxima” and “minima” of functions.“maxima” and “minima” of functions.The derivatives of the maxima and minima = 0The derivatives of the maxima and minima = 0

The function neither increase nor decreases!The function neither increase nor decreases!

ff((xx) = ) = xx33 – 3 – 3xx22 – 24 – 24x + x + 55

f’f’((xx) = 3) = 3xx22 – 6 – 6xx – 24 – 243 (3 (xx22 – 2 – 2xx – 8) – 8)3 (3 (xx + 2)( + 2)(xx –4) –4)

f’f’((xx)) vanishes (reaches a critical point) only when vanishes (reaches a critical point) only when f’f’((xx) = 0) = 0
