Absolute Extreme Values Let f be a function with domain D. Then f(c) is the
(a) absolute maximum value on D if and only if
𝑓(𝑥) ≤ 𝑓(𝑐)for all x in D
(b) absolute minimum value on D if and only
if𝑓(𝑥) ≥ 𝑓(𝑐)for all x in D
The Extreme Value Theorem If f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then f
has both a maximum value and a minimum value
on the interval
Local Extreme Values Let c be an interior point of the domain of the
function f. Then f (c) is a
(a) local maximum value at c if and only if𝑓(𝑥) ≤
𝑓(𝑐)for all x in some open interval containing c
(b) ) local minimum value at c if and only if 𝑓(𝑥) ≥
𝑓(𝑐)for all x in some open interval containing c
Local Extreme Values If a function f has a local maximum value or a local
minimum value at an interior point c of its domain,
and if f’ exists at c, then
𝑓′ (𝑐) = 0
Critical Point A point in the interior of the domain of a function f

Mean Value Theorem for Derivatives If 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at every point of the
closed interval [a, b] and differentiable at every
point of its interior (a, b), then there is at least one
point c in (a, b) at which
𝑓(𝑏 ) − 𝑓(𝑎)

Increasing Function, Decreasing Function Let f be a function defined on an interval I and let
x1 and x2 be any two points in I.
1. 𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝐼, 𝑖𝑓 𝑓(𝑥1) < 𝑓(𝑥2),𝑥1 < 𝑥2
2. 𝑓 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝐼, 𝑖𝑓 𝑓(𝑥1) > 𝑓(𝑥2), 𝑥1 < 𝑥2
Increasing and Decreasing Functions Let f be continuous on [a, b]and differentiable on
(𝑎, 𝑏 )
1. If 𝑓′ > 0 at each point of (a, b), then f increases
on [a, b].
2. If 𝑓" < 0 at each point of (a, b), then f
decreases on [a, b].
Functions with 𝑓′ = 0 are Constant ′
If 𝑓 (𝑥) = 0 at each point of an interval I, then
there is a constant C for which f(x)=C for all x in I
Functions with the Same Derivative Differ by a If 𝑓′ (𝑥) = 𝑔′(𝑥) at each point of an interval I, then
Constant there is a constant C such that𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔 (𝑥) + 𝐶 for
all x in I
Antiderivative A function F(x) is an antiderivative of a function
f(x) if 𝐹 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) for all x in the domain of f. The
process of finding an antiderivative is
antidifferentiation.
First Derivative Test for Local Extrema The following test applies to a continuous function
f(x)
At a critical point c:
1. If 𝑓′ changes sign from positive to negative at
c(𝑓′ > 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 < 𝑐 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓′ < 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 > 𝑐),
then f has a local maximum at c.
2. If 𝑓′ changes sign from negative to positive at
c(𝑓′ < 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 < 𝑐, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓′ > 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 > 𝑐),
then f has a local minimum at c.
3. If 𝑓′ does not change sign at c (𝑓′ has the same
sign on both sides of c), then f has no extreme
value at c.
At a left endpoint a:
If 𝑓′ < 0(𝑓′ > 0) for x >a, then f has a local
maximum(minimum) value at a
At a right endpoint a:
If 𝑓′ < 0(𝑓′ > 0) for x <b, then f has a local
minimum(maximum) value at b.
Concavity The graph of a differentiable function y= f(x) is
(a) Concave up on an open interval I if 𝑦′ is
increasing on I
(b) Concave down on an open interval I if 𝑦 ′ is
decreasing on I.

Concavity Test The graph of a twice-differentiable function y =
f(x)is
(a) Concave up on any interval where 𝑦 ′′ > 0.
(b) Concave down on any interval where𝑦 ′′ < 0
Point of Inflection A point where the graph of a function has a
tangent line and where the concavity changes is a
point of inflection.
Second Derivative Test for Local Extrema 1. If 𝑓′ (𝑐) = 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓′′ (𝑐) < 0, then f has a local
maximum at x=c.
2. If 𝑓′ (𝑐) = 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓′′ (𝑐) > 0, then f has a local
maximum at x=c.
Maximum Profit Maximum profit (if any) occurs at a production
level at which marginal revenue equals marginal
cost.
Minimizing Average Cost The production level (if any) at which average cost
is smallest is a level at which the average cost
equals the marginal cost.
Linearization If f is differentiable at x =a, then the equation of
the tangent line,
𝐿(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑎) + 𝑓′ (𝑎)(𝑥 − 𝑎),
defines the linearization of 𝑓at a. The
approximation 𝑓(𝑥) ≈ 𝐿(𝑥) is the standard linear
approximation of fat a. The point x =a is the center
of the approximation
Differentials Let 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) be a differentiable function. The
differential dx is an independent variable. The
differential dy is
𝑑𝑦 = 𝑓′ (𝑥)𝑑𝑥
Differential Estimate of Change Let 𝑓(𝑥) be differentiable at x =a. The
approximate change in the value of f when x
changes from a to a+dx is
𝑑𝑓 = 𝑓′ (𝑎)𝑑𝑥

The Existence of Definite Integrals All continuous functions are integrable. That is, if a
function f is continuous on an interval [a, b], then
its definite integral over [a, b] exists.
The Definite Integral of a Continuous Function on Let f be continuous on [a, b], and let [a, b] be
