Transcribed Image Text:### Graph Analysis and Questions
#### Graph Description
The graph displayed is of the derivative \( f' \) of a function \( f \). The x-axis ranges from -4 to 4, and the y-axis ranges from -4 to 2. There are significant changes in the slope, indicating critical points.
#### Questions and Solutions
(i) **Identify the critical numbers of \( f \).**
- Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.
- **Solution:** \( x = -1, 0, 1 \) (Correct)
(ii) **Identify the open interval(s) on which \( f \) is increasing or decreasing.**
- Enter your answer using interval notation.
- **Increasing:** None of the given options are marked correct.
- **Decreasing:** Neither of the given intervals are correct:
- \(\left(-\infty, -\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
- \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right)\)
(iii) **Determine whether \( f \) has a relative maximum, a relative minimum, or neither at each critical number.**
- Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.
- **Relative Minimum:**
- \( x = -\frac{1}{2} \) (Incorrect)
- **Relative Maximum:**
- \( x = \frac{1}{2} \) (Incorrect)
### Observations
- The correct identification of critical numbers (where the derivative \( f' \) crosses the x-axis) is key to solving intervals and determining relative extrema.
- Graph interpretation is necessary to accurately describe behavior such as increasing or decreasing intervals and the nature of critical points.

Transcribed Image Text:### Graph Analysis of Derivatives
The graph displays the derivative \( f' \) of a function \( f \). The graph is plotted on the Cartesian plane with the x-axis ranging from -4 to 4 and the y-axis ranging from -4 to 4.
#### (i) Critical Numbers
Identify the critical numbers of \( f \).
- Answer: \( x = -1, 0, 1 \)
#### (ii) Intervals of Increase and Decrease
Determine the open interval(s) on which \( f \) is increasing or decreasing. Provide answers in interval notation.
- Increasing:
- Submitted Answer: \( \left( -\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) \) (Incorrect)
- Decreasing:
- Submitted Answer: \( (-\infty, -\frac{1}{2}) \cup \left( \frac{1}{2}, \infty \right) \) (Incorrect)
#### (iii) Relative Extrema
Determine whether \( f \) has a relative maximum, a relative minimum, or neither at each critical number. Provide answers as a comma-separated list.
To properly analyze the intervals and extrema, one must understand that the graph \( f' \) represents the slope of the original function \( f \). Where \( f' \) is above the x-axis, \( f \) is increasing, and where \( f' \) is below the x-axis, \( f \) is decreasing. Critical numbers occur where \( f' = 0 \) or is undefined, indicating possible points of relative extrema.
