THE SECOND DERIVATIVE TEST FOR MAX/MIN
If f ' a 0 and , then f a is a .
I
f " a 0 minimum
ff f ' a 0 and , then f a is a" a 0 maximum.
Theory First….POINT OF INFLECTION
If f" a 0 and f " a changes from pos to neg or neg to pos,
a point of inflection exists at x = a
TEST FOR CONCAVITY
If f" a f is concave at x = a
If f" a f is con
0 up
0 docave at xwn = a

Since f ‘ (-2) = 0 and f “ (-2) < 0 there is a relative max at x = -2,but x = -2 is not on the interval [0, 2]
f 0 4 f 2 8 Since f(2) > f(0), the abs max occurs at x = 2
The maximum value is 8
