1. Sketch the graph of a function \( f \) with the following properties:

\[ f'(x) > 0, \text{ for } x < 0, \quad f'(x) < 0, \text{ for } x > 0 \]
\[ f''(x) > 0, \text{ for } x < -1, \quad f''(x) < 0, \text{ for } -1 < x < 1, \quad f''(x) > 0, \text{ for } x > 1 \]
\[ \lim_{{x \to -\infty}} f(x) = \lim_{{x \to \infty}} f(x) = 0, \quad f(0) = 1 \]

To explain the graphs and diagrams, consider these points:

- \( f'(x) \) represents the first derivative of \( f(x) \), implying the slope or the rate of change of the function \( f(x) \). For \( x < 0 \), the function is increasing since \( f'(x) > 0 \). For \( x > 0 \), the function is decreasing as \( f'(x) < 0 \).

- \( f''(x) \) is the second derivative of \( f(x) \), which indicates the concavity of the function. For \( x < -1 \), the graph is concave up as \( f''(x) > 0 \). For \( -1 < x < 1 \), the graph is concave down since \( f''(x) < 0 \). For \( x > 1 \), the graph is again concave up with \( f''(x) > 0 \).

- The limits \( \lim_{{x \to -\infty}} f(x) = 0 \) and \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} f(x) = 0 \) suggest that as \( x \) approaches both negative and positive infinity, the function value approaches 0. This indicates horizontal asymptotes at \( y = 0 \).

- \( f(0) = 1 \) indicates that the function passes through the point (0,1).

Based on these properties, the function \( f(x) \) exhibits specific behaviors at different intervals of \( x \
