How do you sketch the graph #y=(2e^x)/(1+e^(2x))# using the first and second derivatives?
By writing the function as:
we can also see that the function is even and at the limits of the domain of definition we have:
Evaluate now the first and second derivatives:
graph{ (2e^x)/(1+e^(2x)) [-3.59, 3.59, -1.794, 1.796]}

To sketch the graph using the first and second derivatives:
-
Find the first derivative :
-
Find the critical points by setting :
-
Solve for to find critical points.
-
Determine the intervals where and to identify increasing and decreasing segments.
-
Find the second derivative :
-
Evaluate at the critical points found earlier to determine concavity.
-
Plot the critical points, increasing/decreasing intervals, and concavity to sketch the graph.
-
Determine the behavior of the function as approaches positive and negative infinity to complete the sketch.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
