Theorems, extrema, and curve shapeWhat this section is building
Test conceptual understanding of derivative theorems and shape concept quiz with a short self-check and model responses.
Critical numbers divide the domain into testable intervals; endpoints and discontinuities keep local evidence from becoming an unjustified global claim.
List the domain and candidates, test derivative signs, compare endpoint values, and verify each theorem's hypotheses explicitly.
Calling every point with f-prime zero an extremum or every point with f-double-prime zero an inflection point.
Concept Quiz: Theorems and Shape
• Why are critical numbers only candidates for extrema? • State every hypothesis of the Mean Value Theorem. • What sign change in identifies a local maximum? • How does concavity differ from increasing or decreasing behavior? • Why can a vertical asymptote not be an inflection point? • When is the Second Derivative Test inconclusive?

Derivative Theorems and Shape Concept Quiz
Write a response before revealing the model. These conceptual items use an honest attempt-and-reveal rubric rather than pretending an open response has one machine-provable wording.
