    You can also plug in a lesser number such as f'(-3) if you wanna check the sign and then for f'(0) to check the sign and then a final f'(3) to check the sign and give you the graph without having to draw it. This logic works because remember if at f'(-2) is a zero we are checking for a sign change on both sides so if you do this method you are basically inputting values before and after (-2) to evaluate and you do the same for (2) of course.

    *Critical point - where the derivative is equal to zero or does not exist/has a slope that equals zero. -How to find: Find the derivative of the function and set equal to zero -Each critical point can be labeled as a maximum or minimum >Maximum point - critical point in which the derivative goes from positive to negative >Minimum point - critical point in which the derivative goes from negative to positive *If the left side of the point is going up, it is approaching positive infinity, therefore the derivative is positive * If the right side of the point is going down, it is approaching negative infinity, therefore the derivative is negative

    Graphing the derivative is sort of confusing. My teacher just taught us to make a chart and then just find where the derivative is positive and negative, making a local max/min. Just another method for someone who wants to try that.

    Magnesia _V i plugged in values to the right and left of each x root, then depending on whether that y outcomes were positive or negative, I could see if the graph had a change and therefore see if there was a local max / min (for ex.: if your root x was 0... if y outcomes to the left of 0 were negative, and y outcomes to the right of 0 were positive, that means there was a switch from negative to positive and therefore a local min. I’m sorry if that explanation wasn’t the best I’m just a student hope that helped tho!

    I have a question. As you've mentioned for a function to have a max / min value (i.e. for a function to have a critical point), f`(x) should be 0 and the value of x, thus obtained, +2 and -2 are considered as maximum / mimimum. This is where I am confused. Why have we considered that point as max/min value of the function? How do we confirm this, that it is a critical point not an inflexion point. I mean even inflexion point have f`(x) = 0 but there are no maximum / minimum value.

    I have a similar problem to this one in my Stewart 8th ed text, its num 4.1 ex 50. F(x) = x^3-6x^3+5...[-3,5]...I'm stuck on the part where you find the derivative and set to zero. No problem, but the solutions manual has a different answer for that. Unlike what you did which was take the square of 4 and come up with critical points (+ or - 2)...This manual factors out like this...3x(x-4) and ends up with the critical points (0,4). Please clarify this. Thank you

    For finding Max and Min, you checked the slope changing from positive to negative. Why did you go right to left? if we check from left to right, f(2) becomes max.

    you count the numbers from -infinity to +infinity and that's what is represented in the number line. hence he moved from -ve to +ve as per the numbers represented on x-axis.

    Between -2 and 2 how do you decide which is a maximum and when it is a minimum? Negative values are always maximum values and positive values are always negative values?

    If the derivative curve [y= f' (x) ] has a negative slope at/ beyond a point, it means that the actual curve [y= f (x) ] has a positive slope corresponding to that point/ beyond it and vice versa. Correct me if I am wrong! :D
