Formulas

Increasing/Decreasing intervals: Use the derivative f'(x) > 0 for increasing, f'(x) < 0 for decreasing.
Local Maximum: Occurs where the function changes from increasing to decreasing (f'(x) = 0 and f''(x) < 0).
Local Minimum: Occurs where the function changes from decreasing to increasing (f'(x) = 0 and f''(x) > 0).
