Differentiation represents

The rate of change

Optimisation involves finding

Maximum or minimum values of a function

The objective function f(x)f(x) represents

The quantity you want to maximise or minimise

How to find critical points

Solve f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0

If f′′(x)>0f''(x) > 0, the point is a

Local minimum

If f′′(x)<0f''(x) < 0, the point is a

Local maximum

Critical points are where

Function could have a maximum or minimum

Notation for differential of AA w.r.t. pp

rac{dA}{dp}

Test used to classify critical points

Second derivative test

First derivative f′(x)f'(x) represents

Rate of change of function w.r.t. xx
