Application of derivatives(a) Find the interval(s) on which is increasing.
Recall the increasing/decreasing test with respect to a function f.
• If f'(x) > 0 on an interval, then fis increasing on that interval.
• If f'(x) < 0 on an interval, then fis decreasing on that interval.
Therefore, the first step in finding the intervals of increase and decrease is to find f'(x).
f(x) = 4 sin(x) + 4 cos(x)
f'(x) = 4 cos.x - 4 sin x
Step 2
We have determined that f'(x) = 4 cos(x) - 4 sin(x). We must now determine any values where f'(x) = To do so, we set 4 cos(x) - 4 sin(x) equal to 0 and solve for x over the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2x. Doing so gives the following result. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
x=
We recall that these values are called the critical numbers of f in the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2x.

Application of derivativesIf the current position of the object at time t is s (t), then the position at time h later is s (t+h). The average velocity (speed) during that additional time h is (s(t+h)-s(t)) / h
If we want to analyze the instantaneous velocity at time t, this can be made into a mathematical model by taking the limit as h→0, i.e. the derivative s' (t). Use this function in the model below for the velocity function v (t).
The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so using the same logic, the acceleration function a (t) can be modeled with the derivative of the velocity function, or the second derivative of the position function a(t) = v' (t)= s" (t)
