Math Problem Statement
Solution
For question 022, we are tasked with determining the graph of the derivative given the graph of a function on the interval .
Analyzing the function :
- From the graph of , we see that it is piecewise linear. The slope of each segment will give us the derivative .
- On , the graph of is decreasing, meaning will be negative here.
- On , the graph of is increasing, meaning will be positive here.
- On , the graph of is constant, so the derivative will be zero here.
- On , the graph of is decreasing again, so will be negative here.
Identifying the correct derivative:
- For the interval , the slope is negative, so should be below the x-axis in this region.
- For , the slope is positive, so should be above the x-axis in this region.
- For , since the function is constant, .
- For , the slope is negative again, so should be below the x-axis.
Looking at the provided options, option 2 is the correct graph of the derivative. This option shows the correct changes in sign (positive and negative) and zero values corresponding to the flat section of .
For question 023, we are asked to find the graph of the derivative of a function on based on its provided graph.
Analyzing the function :
- The function starts increasing, meaning is positive.
- Then, the function reaches a maximum at , where .
- Between and , the function decreases, meaning is negative.
- At , the function reaches another minimum, so .
- Between and , the function increases, meaning is positive.
- After , the function decreases again, meaning is negative.
The derivative should capture these sign changes and critical points. Based on this reasoning, you can analyze the provided options and select the correct graph of .
