Unit 2 Lesson 6 Practice Problems Solutions

This document contains 5 practice problems about increasing and decreasing functions and extreme values: 1. Find the derivative, critical points, and intervals where a function is increasing/decreasing. 2. Find critical points, local max/min, and increasing/decreasing intervals for a given function. 3. Find increasing/decreasing intervals for a rational function using exact values. 4. Find the domain and intervals where a composed function is decreasing. 5. Use a tangent line and information about a local minimum to find the coefficients of a polynomial function.
