Sketch a graph using functions

Overview

The graph of the first derivative f' (x) of the function f(x) is shown above. f(x) is bound by the interval |-8, 2].

  • On what interval(s) is f(x), not f' (x), increasing or decreasing?
  • Express your answers using interval notation.
  • At what value(s) of x does f(x), not f' (x), have local extreme points (if they exist at all)?
  • Label each as a local maxima or local minima
    • On what interval(s) is f(x), not f' (x), concave up or concave down?
    • Express your answers using interval notation.
    • At what value(s) of x does f(x), not f' (x), have inflection points?
