How about an Example?
Find the intervals on which f (x) = x − 4x + 3 is increasing
and the intervals on which it is decreasing?

f '(x) = 2x − 4
f '(x) = 0

2x − 4 = 0

f '(x) < 0 ⇒ f (x)↓: ( − ∞,2]
f '(x) > 0 ⇒ f (x)↑: [ 2,+ ∞ )

How about another example?
Find the intervals on which f (x) = x − 5x + 9x is concave up
and the intervals on which it is concave down.
4

f '(x) = 4x 3 −15x 2 +18x

f "(x) = 0

6 ( 2x 2 − 5x + 3) = 0

12x − 30x +18 = 0

Inflection points
Points of inflection occur at the points where:
•the derivative equals zero
•the derivative doesn’t exist
•the function changes concavity
Warning !!!
Asymptotes frequently act as
inflection points, so make sure you
check concavity changes before
making conclusion.
Let’s get all this together
