To sketch a possible graph of $f(x)$ based on the derivative $f'(x)$, follow these detailed steps:

1. Identify Critical Points:

• Critical points occur where $f'(x) = 0$, as these are points where $f(x)$ may have a local maximum, minimum, or inflection points.
• From the analysis, $f'(x) = 0$ at $x = -2$ and $x = 1$. These are key points on your graph.

2. Determine Increasing/Decreasing Intervals:

• For $x < -2$: $f'(x) < 0$, which means $f(x)$ is decreasing in this interval.
• From $x = -2$ to $x = 1$: $f'(x) > 0$, so $f(x)$ is increasing over this interval.
• For $x > 1$: $f'(x) > 0$ and increasing rapidly, meaning $f(x)$ continues to increase, and its growth rate is accelerating.

3. Analyze Concavity (Curvature of $f(x)$):

• For $-3 < x < -1$: Since $f'(x)$ is increasing, $f(x)$ is concave up, so it bends upward.
• For $-1 < x < 0$: f'(x) is decreasing, so \( f(x) is concave down, meaning the graph bends downward.
• For $x > 0$: f'(x) is increasing, meaning \( f(x) is concave up again, with an upward bending shape.

4. Sketch the Graph:

• At $x = -2$: Mark a local minimum because $f'(x) = 0$ and the function switches from decreasing to increasing.

• At $x = 1$: Another critical point where $f'(x) = 0$. After this point, the function continues to increase and becomes concave up due to the steep positive slope of $f'(x)$.

  The curve should:

• Start decreasing for $x < -2$,

• Reach a minimum at $x = -2$,

• Increase but bend upward (concave up) between $-3$ and $-1$,

• Bend downward (concave down) from $-1$ to $0$,

• Sharply increase and bend upward (concave up) beyond $x = 1$.

This sketch would align with the behavior derived from the derivative $f'(x)$. Would you like more details on how the graph might look, or any clarifications?

Here are some additional related questions for practice:

1. How do you determine points of inflection from $f'(x)$?
2. What is the significance of the concavity of $f(x)$ on the graph?
3. How does knowing the intervals of increasing and decreasing help sketch a graph?
4. What do you conclude if $f'(x)$ is zero but does not change sign around that point?
5. How can second derivative analysis ($f''(x)$) refine your graph of $f(x)$?

Tip: Always look at critical points and the behavior of the derivative before and after them to decide the nature of local extrema or inflection points.
