Question
Take a look at the graph of f below. Which has the greatest value?

Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Understanding the Graph of \( f \)**
**Introduction**
Take a look at the graph of \( f \) below. The graph illustrates a curve with points labeled A, B, C, and D on the coordinate plane. Your task is to determine which point on this curve has the greatest value of the derivative \( f'(x) \).
**Graph Description**
The graph labeled "Graph of \( f \)" displays the following:
- **Point A**: Located on the upward-sloping section of the curve on the left side of the y-axis.
- **Point B**: Situated on a downward-sloping section near the x-axis.
- **Point O**: Represents the origin where the curve intersects the axes, showing a flat tangent.
- **Point C**: On the lower part of the curve, indicating a local minimum.
- **Point D**: Positioned to the right, on a downward slope past point C.
**Question**
Which of the following has the greatest value?
- \( f'(A) \)
- \( f'(B) \)
- \( f'(C) \)
- \( f'(D) \)
**Conclusion**
Choose the option that correctly identifies the point with the greatest derivative value \( f'(x) \) based on the graph's slopes.
