Bacteria Growth
From looking at the the average rate of change of this function from data collected every two hours determine: • Where is the function increasing/decreasing? • Where is the function concave up/down?

Warming UPExercise 7 from Derivative at a Point
Consider the graph below. The domain of the function is all the real numbers. Assume that outside the window the function
continues the same behavior as the one indicated in the window.
1. Where is f(x) increasing?
2. Where is f(x)>0?
3. Where is f(x) concave up?

ii. Use interval notation to complete the following informationa. Intervals where the derivative is negative
(solutions to f ‘ (x) < 0)
b. Intervals where f(x) < 0. Describe those points graphically.
c. Intervals where the derivative is positive (solutions to f ‘ (x) > 0)
d. Intervals where f (x) > 0. Describe those points graphically.

Critical Points of A Continuous Function
A critical points of a continuous function y=f(x) is a point in its domain where either f ‘(x)=0 or f ‘(x) is undefined. f’(x)=0 when the tangent line is horizontal f’(x) is undefined at a point in the domain where the tangent line does not exist (cusp, corner, end point), or when the tangent line is vertical..
If x0 is not a critical point its derivative exists and eitherf ‘(x0) > 0, or f ‘(x) < 0

Exercise 1
The first coordinate of the critical points of each of the functions below are identified at the top of each graph. Refer to the definition of a critical point to explain why it is a critical point. Identify the type of critical point (f ’=0 or f ’ undefined)

Derivative Function
Given a function y=f(x) a new function is defined the following way: to each point in the domain of the function y = f(x) the value of the derivative at that point is assigned, or what is the same the value of the slope of the tangent line. This new function is called the derivative function of y = f(x). The derivative function of y=f(x) is denoted
