6 The tangent to the curve y = f(x) at the point with coordinates (a, f(a)) has equation
y − f(a) = f9(a)(x − a)
7 The normal to the curve y = f(x) at the point with coordinates (a, f(a)) has equation
1
y − f(a ) = − ____(x − a )
f9(a )
8 ● The function f(x) is increasing on the interval [a, b] if f9(x) > 0 for all values of x such that
a , x , b.
● The function f(x) is decreasing on the interval [a, b] if f9(x) < 0 for all values of x such that
a , x , b.
