Monotonicity and Maxima-Minima of Functions

Monotonicity and Maxima-Minima of Functions

No batch is running yet. Tell us when you’d attend and we’ll open one. You’ll see the time and the price before you pay.

Is this the one you’re stuck on?

Everything a batch would cover. Scan the five parts, then read into the one that’s yours.

Monotonicity

  • increasing and strictly increasing functions
  • decreasing and strictly decreasing functions
  • nature of composite functions
  • monotonic and non-monotonic functions

Applications of Monotonicity

  • finding range and number of roots using monotonicity
  • proving inequalities using monotonicity

Concavity

  • inequalities using concavity
  • point of inflection

Maxima and Minima

  • identifying extrema by checking neighbourhood values
  • second derivative test
  • first derivative test
  • extrema of discontinuous and non-differentiable functions
  • global maximum and minimum

Applications of Extrema

  • curve tracing and analysing roots
  • optimization in plane and coordinate geometry
  • optimization in solid geometry

The session

You don’t have to just listen.

You

“Sir, I don’t understand why we used this equation here.”

Sir

“Let’s go back one step. Look at what’s rotating.”

Ask your question. Stop the teacher. Ask them to explain it another way.

Why this works

A teacher who doesn’t fully own a chapter teaches it half-convincingly, and you absorb the hesitation.

Learn it from someone who owns it, and you absorb their certainty instead.
