Maxima and Minima First Derivative Test 1) We are given the function First‚ we find the derivative: We set the derivative equal to 0 and solve: Since the domain of f is the same as the domain of f’‚ 4 is the only critical number of f. Testing: x < 4 | f’(0) = -8 | f is decreasing | x > 4 | f’(5) = 2 | f is increasing | By the First Derivative Test‚ x = 4 is a local minimum. 2) We are given the function First‚ we find the derivative: We set the derivative
