Document Summary
If f is a di erentiable function and b > 0, b (cid:54)= 1, then: (cid:48) , and by the chain rule, [logb f (x)] F (cid:48) (x: [logb x] (cid:48) (cid:48, [ln x] , and by the chain rule, [ln f (x)] (cid:0)x2 + 1(cid:1) , then: (cid:0)x2 + 1(cid:1) +(cid:0)1 + x2(cid:1)(cid:18) If y = (1 + x2) log2 y(cid:48) = 2x log2. Maximum and minimum function values: absolute max/min: Note: absolute max/min may only occur at endpoints of i (if closed interval) or critical values of f. If f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], < a < b < , then f has an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on [a, b: relative max/min: We de ne relative [or local ] minimum value of f similarly. If f has a local extremum at an interior point c and f(cid:48)(c) exists, then f(cid:48)(c) = 0.
