Application of Different

This document discusses key concepts in differentiation including: 1) Determining when a function is increasing or decreasing by examining the sign of the derivative. 2) Finding stationary points where the derivative is equal to zero and classifying them as maxima, minima or points of inflection using the second derivative test. 3) Applying differentiation to find rates of change, maxima and minima values, and using the chain rule to find the derivative of composite functions.

How do we apply these concepts?

Find the coordinates of the stationary points on the


curve y = x3 3x + 2 and determine the nature of
these points.
Hence, sketch the graph of y = x3 3x + 2 and
determine the set values of x in which the function
increases and decreases.

A radius of a circle
increases at a rate of
0.2 cm/ s

A water drops at a
rate of 0.5 cm3/ s
