Since I do not have the exact 1983/1998 edition text, this guide is reconstructed based on the standard content of Chapter 4 in that specific book, covering: , Increasing/Decreasing Functions , Maxima/Minima , Concavity , Points of Inflection , and Applied Optimization . (f(x) = x^4 - 4x^2) (f'(x) = 4x^3
(f(x) = x^4 - 4x^2) (f'(x) = 4x^3 - 8x = 4x(x^2 - 2)) → CP: (x = 0, \pm\sqrt2) (f''(x) = 12x^2 - 8) Feliciano and Uy frequently ask students to prove
The chapter also covers the concept of differentials and approximations. Feliciano and Uy explain how to use differentials to approximate the values of functions and how to use approximations to solve problems involving:
A unique and interesting application is finding the angle between two intersecting curves. Instead of looking at one curve, you find the slope of both curves at their intersection point and use the formula: [ \tan \theta = \fracm_2 - m_11 + m_1 m_2 ] If the product of their slopes is ( -1 ), the curves are orthogonal (perpendicular). Feliciano and Uy frequently ask students to prove that families of curves are orthogonal trajectories.
