Math Problem Statement
Draw a possible sketch for a continuous function f(x) from [0,8] if f(0)=0 and its derivative f’(x) is given below
Solution
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt import numpy as np
Define the derivative f'(x) from the graph
x = np.linspace(0, 8, 500) f_prime = np.piecewise(x, [x < 3, (x >= 3) & (x < 4), (x >= 4) & (x < 6), x >= 6], [lambda x: 2np.sin(np.pix/3), lambda x: -2*(x-3), lambda x: 2*(x-5), lambda x: -3*(x-6)])
Compute f(x) using integration
f = np.cumsum(f_prime) * (x[1] - x[0]) # Numerical integration f = f - f[0] # Adjust to make f(0) = 0
Plot f(x)
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.plot(x, f, label="$f(x)$", color="blue") plt.axhline(0, color="black", linestyle="--", linewidth=0.7) plt.axvline(0, color="black", linestyle="--", linewidth=0.7) plt.title("Sketch of $f(x)$ based on $f'(x)$") plt.xlabel("$x$") plt.ylabel("$f(x)$") plt.legend() plt.grid(alpha=0.3) plt.show() <<ImageDisplayed>>successHere is a possible sketch of the continuous function , based on the given derivative and the condition . The shape of reflects the behavior of :
- increases where .
- decreases where .
- has local maxima or minima where and changes sign.
Would you like to analyze specific points, discuss critical points, or explore how this curve behaves in more detail?
Here are 5 related questions for exploration:
- What are the critical points of , and how do they relate to ?
- How can the concavity of be determined using ?
- Could you provide a numerical calculation of at specific values of ?
- How does the behavior of at influence ?
- What happens to as approaches 8, based on ?
Tip: Use the relationship to reconstruct if you are given the derivative.
