Increasing/Decreasing – Concave Up/Concave Down
Critical Points
Concave Up/Concave Down
x = c is a critical point of f ( x ) provided either
1. If f ′′ ( x ) > 0 for all x in an interval I then
1. f ′ ( c ) = 0 or 2. f ′ ( c ) doesn’t exist.
f ( x ) is concave up on the interval I.
Increasing/Decreasing
1. If f ′ ( x ) > 0 for all x in an interval I then
f ( x ) is increasing on the interval I.
2. If f ′ ( x ) < 0 for all x in an interval I then
f ( x ) is decreasing on the interval I.
3. If f ′ ( x ) = 0 for all x in an interval I then
2. If f ′′ ( x ) < 0 for all x in an interval I then
f ( x ) is concave down on the interval I.
Inflection Points
x = c is a inflection point of f ( x ) if the
concavity changes at x = c .
f ( x ) is constant on the interval I.

Absolute Extrema
1. x = c is an absolute maximum of f ( x )
if f ( c ) ≥ f ( x ) for all x in the domain.
Extrema
Relative (local) Extrema
1. x = c is a relative (or local) maximum of
f ( x ) if f ( c ) ≥ f ( x ) for all x near c.
2. x = c is an absolute minimum of f ( x )
if f ( c ) ≤ f ( x ) for all x in the domain.
Fermat’s Theorem
If f ( x ) has a relative (or local) extrema at
x = c , then x = c is a critical point of f ( x ) .
Extreme Value Theorem
If f ( x ) is continuous on the closed interval
[ a, b] then there exist numbers c and d so that,
1. a ≤ c, d ≤ b , 2. f ( c ) is the abs. max. in
[ a, b] , 3. f ( d ) is the abs. min. in [ a, b] .
Finding Absolute Extrema
To find the absolute extrema of the continuous
function f ( x ) on the interval [ a, b ] use the
following process.
1. Find all critical points of f ( x ) in [ a, b ] .
2. Evaluate f ( x ) at all points found in Step 1.
3. Evaluate f ( a ) and f ( b ) .
4. Identify the abs. max. (largest function
value) and the abs. min.(smallest function
value) from the evaluations in Steps 2 & 3.
2. x = c is a relative (or local) minimum of
f ( x ) if f ( c ) ≤ f ( x ) for all x near c.
1st Derivative Test
If x = c is a critical point of f ( x ) then x = c is
1. a rel. max. of f ( x ) if f ′ ( x ) > 0 to the left
of x = c and f ′ ( x ) < 0 to the right of x = c .
2. a rel. min. of f ( x ) if f ′ ( x ) < 0 to the left
of x = c and f ′ ( x ) > 0 to the right of x = c .
3. not a relative extrema of f ( x ) if f ′ ( x ) is
the same sign on both sides of x = c .
2nd Derivative Test
If x = c is a critical point of f ( x ) such that
f ′ ( c ) = 0 then x = c
1. is a relative maximum of f ( x ) if f ′′ ( c ) < 0 .
2. is a relative minimum of f ( x ) if f ′′ ( c ) > 0 .
3. may be a relative maximum, relative
minimum, or neither if f ′′ ( c ) = 0 .
Finding Relative Extrema and/or
Classify Critical Points
1. Find all critical points of f ( x ) .
2. Use the 1st derivative test or the 2nd
derivative test on each critical point.
Mean Value Theorem
If f ( x ) is continuous on the closed interval [ a, b ] and differentiable on the open interval ( a, b )
then there is a number a < c < b such that f ′ ( c ) =
f (b) − f ( a )
.

Related Rates
Sketch picture and identify known/unknown quantities. Write down equation relating quantities
and differentiate with respect to t using implicit differentiation (i.e. add on a derivative every time
you differentiate a function of t). Plug in known quantities and solve for the unknown quantity.

Ex. Two people are 50 ft apart when one
The bottom is initially 10 ft away and is being

is the top moving after 12 sec?
x′ is negative because x is decreasing. Using

Optimization
Sketch picture if needed, write down equation to be optimized and constraint. Solve constraint for
one of the two variables and plug into first equation. Find critical points of equation in range of
variables and verify that they are min/max as needed.
Ex. We’re enclosing a rectangular field with
Ex. Determine point(s) on =
y x 2 + 1 that are

Minimize f = d 2 = ( x − 0 ) + ( y − 2 ) and the

=
A y ( 500 − 2 y )
x = 500 − 2 y ⇒
= 500 y − 2 y 2
Differentiate and find critical point(s).
A′ = 500 − 4 y ⇒ y = 125
nd
By 2 deriv. test this is a rel. max. and so is
the answer we’re after. Finally, find x.
x=

The dimensions are then 250 x 125.

Standard Integration Techniques
Note that at many schools all but the Substitution Rule tend to be taught in a Calculus II class.

∫ a f ( g ( x ) ) g ′ ( x ) dx = ∫ g ( a) f ( u ) du
u Substitution : The substitution u = g ( x ) will convert

using
du = g ′ ( x ) dx . For indefinite integrals drop the limits of integration.

Recall
x 2 = x . Because we have an indefinite
integral we’ll assume positive and drop absolute
value bars. If we had a definite integral we’d
need to compute θ ’s and remove absolute value
bars based on that and,

P( x )
∫ Q( x) dx where the degree of P ( x ) is smaller than the degree of
Q ( x ) . Factor denominator as completely as possible and find the partial fraction decomposition of
the rational expression. Integrate the partial fraction decomposition (P.F.D.). For each factor in the
denominator we get term(s) in the decomposition according to the following table.

An alternate method that sometimes works to find constants. Start with setting numerators equal in
previous example : 7 x 2 + 13=
x A ( x 2 + 4 ) + ( Bx + C ) ( x − 1) . Chose nice values of x and plug in.
For example if x = 1 we get 20 = 5A which gives A = 4 . This won’t always work easily.

Applications of Integrals
Net Area :
∫ a f ( x ) dx represents the net area between f ( x ) and the
b
x-axis with area above x-axis positive and area below x-axis negative.

Ex. Axis : y= a > 0
Ex. Axis : y= a ≤ 0
outer radius : a − f ( x )
outer radius: a + g ( x )
radius : a − y
radius : a + y
inner radius : a − g ( x )
inner radius: a + f ( x )
width : f ( y ) − g ( y )
width : f ( y ) − g ( y )
These are only a few cases for horizontal axis of rotation. If axis of rotation is the x-axis use the
y= a ≤ 0 case with a = 0 . For vertical axis of rotation ( x= a > 0 and x= a ≤ 0 ) interchange x and
y to get appropriate formulas.

With surface area you may have to substitute in for the x or y depending on your choice of ds to
match the differential in the ds. With parametric and polar you will always need to substitute.
Improper Integral
An improper integral is an integral with one or more infinite limits and/or discontinuous integrands.
Integral is called convergent if the limit exists and has a finite value and divergent if the limit
doesn’t exist or has infinite value. This is typically a Calc II topic.
