- Stationary points in the original graph -->
cuts the x axis at y= zero directly above or below ie. y'=0
- If the
tangents before or after the stationary point are
negative -->then the derivative graph will be below the x axis.
ie. y'<0
- If the
tangents before or after the stationary point are
positive --> then the derivative graph will be above the x axis. ie. y'>0
- The x position of the
Points of inflexion --> becomes the position of the
stationary points of your derivative graph
* Basically just remember that if the original function is x^3 (cubic graph) then derivative function will be in the form of x^2 which is a parabola
* x^2 will become a diagonal straight line
* A diagonal straight line will become a horizontal straight line.
Hope that helps
