### Understanding Derivatives and Critical Points

**Exercise 5-7**

- **5.** \( f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x^3 - x^2 \)

- **7a.** On the basis of your answers to Exercises 1–6, describe how the first derivative of a function could be used to determine whether a local maximum or a local minimum occurs at a critical number.

- **7b.** If \( c \) is a critical number, is it true that \( (c, f(c)) \) is either a local maximum or minimum point?

---

### Graph Analysis

**8.** The graph of a function \( f \) is shown below with several points labeled.

#### Diagram Explained:
- **Graph Description:** A curve with labeled points A, B, C, and D.

**Questions:**

- **8a.** At which labeled points is \( f' \) positive? Explain.

- **8b.** Between which pairs of labeled points does \( f \) have a critical point?

- **8c.** Between which pairs of labeled points is \( f' \) increasing?

- **8d.** Between which pairs of labeled points does \( f' \) achieve its minimum value?

---

### Graph Sketching

**9.** 
- **9a.** Sketch the graph of a function \( f \) for which \( f(x) > 0 \) and \( f'(x) > 0 \) for all \( x \).

- **9b.** Sketch the graph of a function \( g \) for which \( g(x) > 0 \) and \( g'(x) < 0 \) for all \( x \).

- **9c.** Give formulas for functions with these properties.

---

### Numerical Derivatives

**10.** The numerical derivative \( \text{nDeriv} \) frequently calculates misleading values at critical numbers where the derivative is undefined. For example, let \( f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 2} \) and \( g(x) = \sqrt[3]{(x - 2)^2} \). 

- **Example Explained:**
  - At \( x = 2 \), both \( f'(2) \) and \( g'(2) \) do not exist.

Expert Solution
Step 1

If we have to draw the graph of a function of a differentiable function then it must be continuous 

f(x)>0 means that the function is positive for all the values of x the graph would be in 1st and 2nd quadrants but above the x-axis as the graph is positive

f'(x)>0 means that the slope is positive which in turn makes the graph to be increasing as increases 

therefore the graph would be
