3. CIMS/NYU professor wins Abel Prize
Mikhail Gromov, born
1943 in Russia

geometry and topology
discovered the
pseudoholomorphic
curve
Abel Prize is the highest

4. On the problems assigned from Section 2.8
Announcements were made in class but not online
Resubmit your Problem Set 6 on Wednesday, April 1 with
Problem Set 8
We will pick two additional problems to grade from Problem
Set 8
If the scores on the makeup problems from PS 8 exceed the
scores of the Section 2.8 problems from PS 6, the makeup
scores will be substituted.
This also takes care of the problematic problem 2.8.28.
This offer is only good this week.

6. The Increasing/Decreasing Test
Theorem (The Increasing/Decreasing Test)
If f′ > 0 on (a, b), then f is increasing on (a, b). If f′ < 0 on (a, b),
then f is decreasing on (a, b).
Proof.
It works the same as the last theorem. Pick two points x and y in
(a, b) with x < y. We must show f(x) < f(y). By MVT there exists
a point c in (x, y) such that
f(y) − f(x)
= f′ (c) > 0.
y−x
So
f(y) − f(x) = f′ (c)(y − x) > 0.
. . . . . .
7. Theorem (Concavity Test)
If f′′ (x) > 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave
upward on I
If f′′ (x) < 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave
downward on I
Proof.
Suppose f′′ (x) > 0 on I. This means f′ is increasing on I. Let a and
x be in I. The tangent line through (a, f(a)) is the graph of
L(x) = f(a) + f′ (a)(x − a)
f(x) − f(a)
= f′ (b).
By MVT, there exists a b between a and x with
x−a
So
f(x) = f(a) + f′ (b)(x − a) ≥ f(a) + f′ (a)(x − a) = L(x)

8. Graphing Checklist
To graph a function f, follow this plan:
0. Find when f is positive, negative, zero, not defined.
1. Find f′ and form its sign chart. Conclude information about
increasing/decreasing and local max/min.
2. Find f′′ and form its sign chart. Conclude concave
up/concave down and inflection.
3. Put together a big chart to assemble monotonicity and
concavity data
4. Graph!

11. Graphing a cubic
Example
Graph f(x) = 2x3 − 3x2 − 12x.
First, let’s find the zeros. We can at least factor out one power of
x:
f(x) = x(2x2 − 3x − 12)
so f(0) = 0. The other factor is a quadratic, so we the other two
roots are
√
√
3 ± 32 − 4(2)(−12) 3 ± 105
x= =
4 4
It’s OK to skip this step for now since the roots are so
complicated.
