relative minimum

relative maximum

inflection point

x-intercept

Answer explanation

A critical point can be plugged into the second derivative to determine its concavity. If it is concave up (f''(a) is positive), the critical point is a minimum. If it is concave down (f''(a) is negative), the critical point is a maximum.

When a function is increasing, the derivative is...

increasing

positive

concave up

constant

Answer explanation

When a function is increasing the derivative is positive. This means that for the x-values that the graph is increasing, the graph of the derivative will be above the x-axis. The inverse is true for decreasing areas of a function.
