4.2 Critical Points, Relative Maxima, and Relative Minima, pp. 178180
1. Finding the critical points means determining the points on the graph of the function for which the derivative of the function at the x-coordinate is 0. 2. a. Take the derivative of the function. Set the derivative equal to 0. Solve for x. Evaluate the original function for the values of x. The ( x, y ) pairs are the critical points. b. y 5 x 3 2 6x 2 dy 5 3x 2 2 12x dx 5 3x ( x 2 4) dy Let 5 0. dx 3x ( x 2 4) 5 0 x 5 0, 4 The critical points are (0, 0) and (4, 2 32).

12. a. Since f is defined for all values of x, f r and f s are also defined for all values of x. f has a horizontal asymptote at y 5 0. So f r and f s will have horizontal asymptotes there. f has a local maximum at (0, 1) so f r will be 0 when x 5 0. f has a point of inflection at ( 2 0.7, 0.6) and (0.7, 0.6), so f s will be 0 at x 5 6 0.7. At x 5 0.7, f changes from concave up to concave down, so the sign of f s changes from positive to negative. At x 5 0.7, f changes from concave down to concave up, so the sign of f s changes from negative to positive there. f is increasing for x , 0, so f r will be positive. f is decreasing for x . 0, so f r will be negative. The graph of f is concave up for x , 2 0.7 and x . 0.7, so f s is positive for x , 2 0.7 and x . 0.7. The graph of f is concave down for 2 0.7 , x , 0.7, so f s is negative for 2 0.7 , x , 0.7. Also, since f s is 0 at x 5 6 0.7, the graph of f r will have a local minimum or local maximum at these points. Since the sign of f s changes from negative to positive at x 5 0.7, it must be a local minimum point. Since the sign of f s changes from positive to negative at x 5 2 0.7, it must be a local maximum point.

b. Since f is defined for all values of x, f r and f s are also defined for all values of x. f has a horizontal asymptote at y 5 0 so f r and f s will have a horizontal asymptote there. f has a local maximum at (1, 3.5) so f r will be 0 when x 5 1. f has a local minimum at ( 2 1, 2 3.5) so f r will be 0 when x 5 2 1. f has a point of inflection at ( 2 1.7, 2 3), (1.7, 3) and (90, 0) so f s will be 0 at x 5 6 1.7 and x 5 0. At x 5 0, f changes from concave up to concave down, so the sign of f s changes from positive to negative. At x 5 2 1.7, f changes from concave down to concave up, so the sign of f s changes from negative to positive. At x 5 1.7, f changes from concave down to concave up, so the sign of f s changes from negative to positive. f is decreasing for x , 2 1 and x . 1, so f r will be negative. The graph of f is concave up for 2 1.7 , x , 0 and x . 1.7, so f s is positive for 2 1.7 , x , 0 and x . 1.7. The graph of f is concave down for x , 2 1.7 and 0 , x , 1.7, so f s is negative for x , 2 1.7 and 0 , x , 1.7. Also, since f s is 0 when x 5 0 and x 5 6 1.7, the graph of f r will have a local maximum or minimum at these points. Since the sign of f s changes from negative to positive at x 5 2 1.7, f r has a local minimum at x 5 2 1.7. Since the sign of f s changes from positive to negative at x 5 0, it must be a local maximum point. Since the sign of f s changes from negative to positive at x 5 1.7, it must be a local minimum point.

The function has a local minimum at x 5 2. 8. a. Since x 1 2 5 0 for x 5 2 2, x 5 2 2 is a vertical asymptote. Large and positive to left of asymptote, large and negative to right of asymptote. b.

So the horizontal asymptote is 1. Similarly, we can prove lim f ( x ) 5 1. If x is large and positive,

This limit gets larger as it approaches 5 from the right. Similarly, we can prove that the limit goes to 1` as it approaches 5 from the left. For example, 1 if x 5 1000 f ( x ) 5 10 25 , which 1000 Q 1 2 1000 1 1000 2R gets larger as x gets larger. Thus, f ( x ) approaches 1` on both sides of x 5 5. b. There are no discontinuities because x 2 1 9 never equals zero.
for example, if x 5 1000, f ( x ) 5 which is smaller than 3. If x is large and negative, for exam3001 ple, if x 5 2 1000, f ( x ) 5 2 2 995 , which is larger

1. A cubic polynomial that has a local minimum must also have a local maximum. If the local minimum is to the left of the local maximum, then f ( x ) S 1` as x S 2 ` and f ( x ) S 2 ` as x S 1` . If the local minimum is to the right of the local maximum, then f ( x ) S 2 ` as x S 2 ` and f ( x ) S 1` as x S 1` . 2. Since each local maximum and minimum of a function corresponds to a zero of its derivative, the number of zeroes of the derivative is the maximum number of local extreme values that the function can have. For a polynomial of degree n, the derivative has degree n 2 1, so it has at most n 2 1 zeroes, and thus at most n 2 1 local extremes. A polynomial of degree three has at most 2 local extremes. A polynomial of degree four has at most 3 local extremes. 3. a. This function is discontinuous when x 2 1 4x 1 3 5 0 ( x 1 3)( x 1 1) 5 0 x 5 2 3 or x 5 2 1. Since the numerator is non-zero at both of these points, they are both equations of vertical asymptotes. b. This function is discontinuous when x 2 2 6x 1 12 6 6 " ( 2 6)2 2 4(1)(12) x5 2(1) 6 6 "2 12 5 2 This equation has no real solutions, so the function has no vertical asymptotes. c. This function is discontinuous when x 2 2 6x 1 9 5 0 ( x 2 3)2 5 0 x 5 3. Since the numerator is non-zero at this point, it is the equation of a vertical asymptote.

20. a. Graph A is f, graph C is f r, and graph B is f s . We know this because when you take the derivative, the degree of the denominator increases by one. Graph A has a squared term in the denominator, graph C has a cubic term in the denominator, and graph B has a term to the power of four in the denominator. b. Graph F is f, graph E is f r and graph D is f s . We know this because the degree of the denominator increases by one degree when the derivative is taken.

12. a. Since f is defined for all values of x, f r and f s are also defined for all values of x. f has a horizontal asymptote at y 5 0. So f r and f s will have horizontal asymptotes there. f has a local maximum at (0, 1) so f r will be 0 when x 5 0. f has a point of inflection at ( 2 0.7, 0.6) and (0.7, 0.6), so f s will be 0 at x 5 6 0.7. At x 5 0.7, f changes from concave up to concave down, so the sign of f s changes from positive to negative. At x 5 0.7, f changes from concave down to concave up, so the sign of f s changes from negative to positive there. f is increasing for x , 0, so f r will be positive. f is decreasing for x . 0, so f r will be negative. The graph of f is concave up for x , 2 0.7 and x . 0.7, so f s is positive for x , 2 0.7 and x . 0.7. The graph of f is concave down for 2 0.7 , x , 0.7, so f s is negative for 2 0.7 , x , 0.7. Also, since f s is 0 at x 5 6 0.7, the graph of f r will have a local minimum or local maximum at these points. Since the sign of f s changes from negative to positive at x 5 0.7, it must be a local minimum point. Since the sign of f s changes from positive to negative at x 5 2 0.7, it must be a local maximum point.

b. Since f is defined for all values of x, f r and f s are also defined for all values of x. f has a horizontal asymptote at y 5 0 so f r and f s will have a horizontal asymptote there. f has a local maximum at (1, 3.5) so f r will be 0 when x 5 1. f has a local minimum at ( 2 1, 2 3.5) so f r will be 0 when x 5 2 1. f has a point of inflection at ( 2 1.7, 2 3), (1.7, 3) and (90, 0) so f s will be 0 at x 5 6 1.7 and x 5 0. At x 5 0, f changes from concave up to concave down, so the sign of f s changes from positive to negative. At x 5 2 1.7, f changes from concave down to concave up, so the sign of f s changes from negative to positive. At x 5 1.7, f changes from concave down to concave up, so the sign of f s changes from negative to positive. f is decreasing for x , 2 1 and x . 1, so f r will be negative. The graph of f is concave up for 2 1.7 , x , 0 and x . 1.7, so f s is positive for 2 1.7 , x , 0 and x . 1.7. The graph of f is concave down for x , 2 1.7 and 0 , x , 1.7, so f s is negative for x , 2 1.7 and 0 , x , 1.7. Also, since f s is 0 when x 5 0 and x 5 6 1.7, the graph of f r will have a local maximum or minimum at these points. Since the sign of f s changes from negative to positive at x 5 2 1.7, f r has a local minimum at x 5 2 1.7. Since the sign of f s changes from positive to negative at x 5 0, it must be a local maximum point. Since the sign of f s changes from negative to positive at x 5 1.7, it must be a local minimum point.

The function has a local minimum at x 5 2. 8. a. Since x 1 2 5 0 for x 5 2 2, x 5 2 2 is a vertical asymptote. Large and positive to left of asymptote, large and negative to right of asymptote. b.

So the horizontal asymptote is 1. Similarly, we can prove lim f ( x ) 5 1. If x is large and positive,
