For any differentiable function f(x), a slope (derivative) can be found for any value of x.
A function can be created using the derivatives (slopes) of another function.
A derivative function is positive on the intervals where the original function is increasing-- in other words, where the slope of the original function is positive.
A derivative function is negative on the intervals where the original function is decreasing-- in other words, where the slope of the original function is negative.
A derivative function is zero on the intervals where the original function is remaining constant-- in other words, where the slope of the original function is zero.
