𝑑𝑦
Slope of tangent to the curve y=f(x) at point P(𝑥1, 𝑦1 ) 𝑖𝑠 𝑚 =tan 𝜃 = ( )
𝑑𝑥 (𝑥1, 𝑦1 )
Let 𝑚 & 𝑚, be the slope of tangent and normal at a point p(𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) respectively then

+ve Inclination (𝜃) is acute angle
𝑑𝑦
For Increasing function at x=a ,𝑓 , (𝑎) > 0 𝑜𝑟 (𝑑𝑥 ) > 0.
𝑥=𝑎
𝑑𝑦
For decreasing function at x=a , 𝑓 , (𝑎) < 0 𝑜𝑟 (𝑑𝑥 ) < 0.
𝑥=𝑎
If 𝑓 , (𝑎) = 0 then the function is neither Increasing nor decreasing at x=a, such point is called as
turning point. At turning point function may be maximum or minimum. Thus at maximum or
𝑑𝑦
minimum value of function y= f(x) , 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓 , (𝑥) = 0.
value is y=f(xi)

b) If (𝑑𝑥 2 ) > 0 𝑖. 𝑒. positive , then the function is minimum at x=xi and minimum
𝑥=𝑎
value is y=f(xi)
Radius of Curvature:
The curvature is the ratio of change of direction of the tangent at point p.
Radius of Curvature is the reciprocal of curvature at any point p & denoted by 𝜌 (𝑟ℎ𝑜).
