Sketch the graph of a smooth function \(f(x)\) that agrees with the sign charts below.
- Sketch the graph of a smooth function \(f(x)\) that agrees with the sign charts below.
- Consider the function \(f(x) = x^2 - 2x\). Construct sign charts for \(f\), \(f'\), and \(f''\), then use your sign charts to sketch the graph of \(f\). Be sure to include all \(x\)-intercepts, relative extrema, and inflection points of \(f\) in your graph, and make sure the behavior of your graphed function agrees with your sign charts. Confirm your result using a graphing calculator.
- Consider the function \(f(x) = x^2 + x + 1\). Construct sign charts for \(f\), \(f'\), and \(f''\), then use your sign charts to sketch the graph of \(f\). Be sure to include all \(x\)-intercepts, relative extrema, and inflection points of \(f\) in your graph, and make sure the behavior of your graphed function agrees with your sign charts. Confirm your result using a graphing calculator.
- Consider the function \(f(x) = 3 + 2x - x^2\). Construct sign charts for \(f\), \(f'\), and \(f''\), then use your sign charts to sketch the graph of \(f\).
