Section 19HI – Curve Properties
• Increasing function
– An increase in x produces
an increase in y
• Decreasing function
– An increase in x produces
a decrease in y.
Consider y = x3 – 3x + 4
• What is happening to
the slopes of the
tangent lines?
• Where f(x) is increasing,
f ’(x) is _____.
• Where f(x) is decreasing
f ’(x) is _____.
• Where f(x) is at a
maximum or minimum,
f ’(x) is _____.
Understanding:
• Derivative = slope of tangent line.
• If the tangent line has a negative slope, then the derivative
is negative.
– This happens where the function, f(x), is decreasing.
• If the tangent line has a positive slope, then the derivative
is positive.
– This happens where the function, f(x), is increasing.
• If the tangent line is horizontal, then the derivative is zero.
– This happens where the function, f(x), is at a maximum or
minimum.

a) Evaluate f (1).
b) Calculate f '(x).
c) Evaluate f '(2).
d) State whether the function f (x) is
increasing or decreasing at x = 2.
Consider y = x3 – 3x + 4
• What is the tangent line at the maximum and the minimum?
In order to find the x-coordinate of any maximum or
minimum points, solve the equation f ’(x) = 0

a) (i) Find f ‘(x).
(ii) Find the gradient of the curve f(x) when x = 3.
b) Find the x-coordinates of the points on the curve where
the gradient is equal to –12.
