Defn: Family of functions

Related functions, same form, differ by parameters

Parameters in function families

Constants differentiating functions in the family

Stationary points occur where

f(x)=0f'(x) = 0

Method to determine nature of stationary pt

Examine sign of f(x)f'(x) on either side of point

Local max: f(x)f'(x) sign change

Positive to negative

Translation aa right, bb up transforms (x,y)(x,y) to

(x+a,y+b)(x+a, y+b)

What translations preserve

Shape and orientation of graph

Two conditions from stationary point

Point on curve (f(x)=yf(x)=y) and f(x)=0f'(x)=0

Stationary pts in parametric families given as

In terms of parameters

f(x)f'(x) for f(x)=(xa)2(xb)f(x)=(x-a)^2(x-b)

(xa)(3xa2b)(x-a)(3x-a-2b)
