Objective: To sketch the graphs of functions using derivatives.

Much can be leamed about the graph of f(x) by plotting each point (x. f(x) from the table and
then drawing the tangent to the curve at cach point plotted. The tangent in cach case is the line
through (x, f(x)) that has stope f'(x). Figure (a) shows a smooth curve drawn through the points
and having the corresponding tungent lines. The smooth curve is the graph of f(x).
r(3) = 0
f) <0
In figure (a), notice that as x increases, the curve rises whenever f'(x) > 0, and the curve falls
whenever f'(x) < 0. When f'(r) = 0, the curve has a horizontal tangent and f(x) attains its
maximum value.
The observations that we have so far made for polynomial functions are valid for any function
f(x) that has a derivative on an interval 1:
1. Iff(x) > 0 on an interval 1, then the graph of f(x) rises as x increases.
2. If r(2) < 0 on an interval I, then the graph of f(x) rises as x increases.
3. If f'() = 0, then the graph f(x) has a horizontal tangent x = c. The funetion may have
a local maximum or minimum value, or neither.
