![**Title: Analyzing the Derivatives of a Function**
**Image Description:**
The image shows a webpage containing a mathematical exercise focused on analyzing the derivatives of a function \( f \). The page is from a website link (https://www.webassign.net/web/Student/Assignment-Responses/last?dep=). The user interface includes options for entering textual responses to mathematical queries.
**Mathematical Graph Details:**
There is a graph of the function \( f \) which is plotted on a coordinate plane. The \( y \)-axis ranges from \(-6\) to \(6\) and the \( x \)-axis ranges from \(-6\) to \(6\). The function shows various points of intersection and curvature, indicating where the function's slope changes.
**Exercise Queries:**
(a) Analyzing \( f'(x) \):
1. **For which values of \( x \) is \( f'(x) \) zero? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)**
- *Input Box*: x = [ ]
2. **For which values of \( x \) is \( f'(x) \) positive? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)**
- *Input Box*: [ ]
3. **For which values of \( x \) is \( f'(x) \) negative? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)**
- *Input Box*: [ ]
*Explanation of meaning:*
- **What do these values mean?**
- *Dropdown*: \( f \) is [ Select ] when \( f' > 0 \) and \( f \) is [ Select ] when \( f' < 0 \).
(b) Analyzing \( f''(x) \):
1. **For which values of \( x \) is \( f''(x) \) zero? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)**
- *Input Box*: x = [ ]
2. **For which values of \( x \) is \( f''(x) \) positive? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)**
- *Input Box*: [ ]
3. **For which values of \( x \) is \( f''(x) \) negative? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)**
- *Input Box*: [ ]

This webpage appears to be an interactive assignment for students learning about curve sketching in calculus. It includes questions that require students to determine where the second derivative of a function is zero, positive, or negative, and it also asks about the implications on the behavior of the function based on these values. Additionally, students must determine intervals where the first derivative is increasing and identify points of minimum values for the first derivative.
