  1. Second derivative test (or analyze f(x)f'(x)'s behavior around critical points) to classify critical points as maxima or minima.

Step 3: Select the Correct Graph

The options in the image show graphs of f(x)f(x) and f(x)f'(x). Based on the derivative f(x)f'(x), key features to observe include:

  1. Where f(x)=0f'(x) = 0 (critical points),
  2. Where f(x)>0f'(x) > 0 (function is increasing),
  3. Where f(x)<0f'(x) < 0 (function is decreasing).

Analyzing these features will help match the correct graph.

Tip

Always analyze the periodicity of trigonometric functions when solving for critical points, as they often repeat within the given interval!
