Hi,PF

I've got "Cálculo", Spanish 6th edition, by Robert A. Adams. At Chapter 4.2, would like to read an updated (guess it might be better) 1st. paragraph of the section I translate "Test of the first derivate".

Regards

Most functions you will encounter in elementary calculus have nonzero derivatives ev- erywhere on their domains except possibly at a finite number of critical points, singular points, and endpoints of their domains. On intervals between these points the derivative exists and is not zero, so the function is either increasing or decreasing there. If f is continuous and increases to the left of x0 and decreases to the right, then it must have a local maximum value at x0. The following theorem collects several results of this type together.
