First Derivative Test, Local Extrema, Examples - Calculus
This video explains the steps and gives the definition of the first derivative test for local maxima and minima, local extreme values of functions or relative extrema. A positive or negative first derivative tells us if a function is increasing/decreasing and identifies critical points. 1st, 2nd and 3rd derivatives of functions like trigonometric ones are calculated in a similar way and a table is typically used for common derivatives. The second derivative test will be covered later on. A worksheet (PDF) of problems with solutions is provided for practice.
📌 Worksheets are provided in PDF format to further improve your understanding:
