Math Problem Statement
Given the graph of a function f(x), sketch the graph of its derivative f'(x).
Solution
The image above represents the derivative based on the given graph of . It highlights the key points where the slopes change and matches the increasing and decreasing sections of the original function .
Would you like further details or have any questions on the solution?
Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:
- How does the derivative behave at sharp corners or cusps in a graph?
- What is the relationship between a positive slope in and the value of ?
- Can you identify which sections of correspond to zero slope (horizontal tangent)?
- How do changes in concavity of affect the second derivative, ?
- How does the graph of change when has a parabolic shape?
Tip: The derivative is always positive where the original function is increasing and negative where is decreasing.
