## Strictly increasing

A function, $f$, is (strictly) **increasing** on an interval $I$ if for any $a < b$ it must be that $f(a) < f(b)$.
The word strictly is related to the inclusion of the $<$ precluding the possibility of a function being flat over an interval that the $\leq$ inequality would allow.
A parallel definition with $a < b$ implying $f(a) > f(b)$ would be used for a *strictly decreasing* function.

We can try and prove these properties for a function algebraically we'll see both are related to the zeros of some function. However, before proceeding to that it is usually helpful to get an idea of where the answer is using exploratory graphs.

The classification part, should be clear: e.g., if the derivative is positive then negative, the function $f$ will increase to $(c,f(c))$ then decrease from $(c,f(c))$ so $f$ will have a local maximum at $c$.

A function $f(x)$ is concave up on $I$ if for any $a < b$ in $I$, the secant line between $a$ and $b$ lies above the graph of $f(x)$ over $[a,b]$.

Concave up functions are "opening" up, and often clearly $U$-shaped, though that is not necessary. At a relative minimum, where there is a $U$-shape, the graph will be concave up; conversely at a relative maximum, where the graph has a downward $\cap$-shape, the function will be concave down. This observation becomes:

If $c$ is a critical point of $f(x)$ with $f''(c)$ existing in a neighborhood of $c$, then
* $f$ will have a relative maximum at the critical point $c$ if $f''(c) > 0$,

If $f''(c)$ is positive in an interval about $c$, then $f''(c) > 0$ implies the function is concave up at $x=c$. In turn, concave up implies the derivative is increasing so must go from negative to positive at the critical point.
