Lession 15: Curve Sketching-Optimization Problems


(Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Chanh Tu, DUT)

1. How Derivatives affect and Curve Sketching


1.1. Rolle and Mean Value Theorem (4.2)

Rolle's Theorem: If is differentiable on and then there


exists a number such that

1.2. Increasing and decreasing Functions


1.3. The first Derivative Test for extreme values
Definition (Recall) A critical number of a function is a number in the domain of such that
either or does not exist.
Remark: If we consider the function only on an open interval, then we have:

1.4. Concavity and Second Derivative Test for extreme value


A consequence of the Concavity Test is the following test for local maximum and local
minimum values.
1.5. Curve Sketching

2. Review-Steps in Solving Optimization Problems


2.1. Understand the Problem
The first step is to read the problem carefully until it is clearly understood. Ask yourself: What is
the unknown? What are the given quantities? What are the given conditions?

2.2. Draw a Diagram


In most problems it is useful to draw a diagram and identify the given and required quantities on
the diagram.

2.3. Introduce Notation


it for now).
Also select symbols for other unknown quantities and label the diagram with
these symbols.

2.4. Express Q as a function


Express in terms of some of the other symbols.
Try to eliminate all but one of the variables in the expression for .
Thus, will be expressed as a function of one variable x, say . Write the domain of this
function.

2.5. Find the extreme values.


Find the absolute maximum or minimum value of .
