Math Test 2

Take the derivative of the “outside” function first (using the power rule) and then take the derivative of the "inside" function

For a function F are those numbers c in the domain of F for which f'(c)=0 or f'(c) does not exist.

• 1. Find the derivative
• 2. Find the critical numbers
• 3. Place critical numbers and undefined values of number line
• 4. Test values in each interval (Plug into f'(x).)
• 5. Increaing intervals are where f'(x)>0
• Decreasing invervals are where f'(x)<0
