Graph of a Function and Its Derivative
The derivative function provides the slope of the original function for each value of x. The graph of the derivative can be used to gain information about the original function and can be used to create a sketch of the original function.

How to find the extrema using the EVT
👉 Learn how to find the extreme values of a function using the extreme value theorem. The extreme values of a function are the points/intervals where the graph is decreasing, increasing, or has an inflection point. A theorem which...

Absolute or relative minimum of graph?
👉 Learn about the characteristics of a function. Given a function, we can determine the characteristics of the function's graph. We can determine the end behavior of the graph of the function (rises or falls left and rises or falls...
