    Version 1.0
    Lesson objectives

    • Understand what turning or stationary points are.


    • Use differentiation to find and classify turning points.
    Try this!

    Look at the graph below. It is the graph of y = 6x - x2.


    a) Write down the coordinates of P and Q (where the
    graph crosses the axes).
    0 = 6x – x2

    0 = x(6 – x) x = 0 or x = 6

    b) Use differentiation to find the gradient for this graph.


    dy
     6  2x
    dx

    c) Find the gradient of the curve when x = 5.


    dy
    When x = 5  4
    dx

    c) Find the gradient of the curve when x = 3. P Q


    dy
    When x = 3 0
    dx (0,0) (6,0)

    Vertex of a parabola

    The vertex of a parabola is an example of a turning point. There are two types of
    turning points that you might see on a graph, in both cases the gradient of the graph at
    the turning point is equal to zero, meaning that we can use differentiation to locate
    them.

    Places where the graph has a ‘local maximum’.

    Places where the graph has a ‘local minimum’.


    Try this!

    Consider the equation y = x2 – 8x + 7. What does the graph of this equation look like?
    Sketch it!
    y = (x – 7) (x – 1)
    y = (x – 4)2 – 9

    What is the gradient of the graph when x = 4?


    dy
     2x  8
    dx
    dy
     (2  4)  8  0
    dx

    What significance does this have to the graph?


    Graph crosses:
    y axis at 7
    x axis at 1 and 7
    Turning point at (4,-9)
    Try this!

    Consider the equation y = 10 + 4x – x2. What does the graph of this equation look like?
    Sketch it!
    Doesn’t really factorise
    y = - (x – 2)2 + 14

    Where is the ‘vertex’ of the graph?


    dy
     4  2x  0
    dx
    4  (2  x )  0
    x2
    y  10  4  2  22
    y  14

    The vertex of the graph is at (2,14).


    Try this!

    Consider the graph y = 2x2 – 4x + 3.

    Find and classify the types of turning points, hence sketch the graph.
    dy
     4x  4
    dx
    4x  4  0
    x 1

    x 0.9 1 1.1
    dy
    -0.4 0 0.4
    dx

    So a local minimum at (1,1).


    Try this!

    Consider the graph y = 2x3 – 24x.

    Find and classify the types of turning points, hence sketch the graph.
    dy
     6 x 2  24
    dx
    6 x 2  24  0
    x2  2
    X = 2 or – 2

    So a local maximum at So a local minimum at


    (-2,32 ) (2,-32 )
    Try this!

    Consider the graph y = 3x2 – x3.


    What are the coordinate values of the turning points of the graphs? Use this to sketch
    the graph.
    dy

    dx
    6x  3x 2  0
    3 x (2  x )  0
    X = 0 or x = 2

    So a local minimum at So a local maximum at


    (0,0 ) (2,4 )
    Finding and classifying turning points

    Is it possible for the gradient of a curve to be zero at a point and for the point not to be
    a turning point?

    Find and classify the ‘turning point’ on the curve y = x3


    d  y 2
    =3 x
    dx
      =0
    x = 0 y = 03 = 0
    x -0.1 0 0.1 We call this a point of inflection
    0.03 0 0.03
    0.03 0 0.03
    Finding and classifying turning points

    The points where the gradient of the curve equals zero are called ‘stationary points’.

    Stationary points can be classified as:

    ‘local maximums’ ‘local minimums’ ‘points of inflection’


    - also called a ‘turning point’ - also called a ‘turning point’
