Formula Sheet — Application Of Derivatives

Important formulas and equations from Application Of Derivatives for CUET (UG) Mathematics.

Formulas — Application Of Derivatives

Rate of Change of Quantities

dy/dx = rate of change of y with respect to x
dy/dx = (dy/dt) × (dt/dx) where dx/dt ≠ 0

Increasing and Decreasing Functions

f'(x) > 0 ⟹ f is increasing on interval
f'(x) < 0 ⟹ f is decreasing on interval
f'(x) = 0 ⟹ f is constant on interval

Critical Points and Stationary Points

f'(x) = 0 at critical points

First Derivative Test

f'(x) changes from + to - ⟹ local maximum at x
f'(x) changes from - to + ⟹ local minimum at x
f'(x) doesn't change sign ⟹ point of inflection
