-change from dec. to inc. |
First Derivative Test | Find f'(x)
Solve
Number line
-change from inc. to dec.=Rel Max
-change from dec. to inc.=Rel Min |
Second Derivative Test | find f''(x)
Solve
-f'(x0)=0 and f''(x0)<0,
then x0 is Rel Min (CD)
-f'(x0)=0 and f''(x0)>0,
then x0 has Rel Min (CU) |

Rectilinear Motion
-(Velocity function) | Let s(t) be position function,
then s'(t)=v(t) is velocity function |
Rectilinear Motion
-(Acceleration) | Let s(t) be position function,
then, s''(t)=v'(t)=a(t) is acceleration function |
Rectilinear Motion
-(Speed) | Note: Velocity=Speed and Direction
Speed=|v(t)|
-no direction involved |

Velocity
-(dec with time) | v(t)<0 |
Velocity
-(Particle not moving) | v(t)=0 |
Acceleration
