Question
**Problem Statement:**

14.) Carefully sketch the graph of a continuous function \( f \) which satisfies the following properties:

**Signs of \( f' \):**
- \( (-\infty, -2) \): \( f' < 0 \)
- \( (-2, 0) \): \( f' > 0 \)
- \( (0, \infty) \): \( f' < 0 \)

**Signs of \( f'' \):**
- \( (-\infty, -1) \): \( f'' > 0 \)
- \( (-1, 1) \): \( f'' < 0 \)
- \( (1, \infty) \): \( f'' > 0 \)

**Limits:**
- \( \lim_{{x \to -\infty}} f(x) = \infty \)
- \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} f(x) = -1 \)

**Table of Values:**

\[
\begin{array}{c|c}
x & f(x) \\
\hline
-2 & -1 \\
-1 & 0 \\
0 & 2 \\
1 & 1 \\
\end{array}
\]

**Explanation:**

- **Signs of \( f' \):** 
  - The function \( f \) is decreasing for \( x < -2 \) and \( x > 0 \).
  - It is increasing between \( x = -2 \) and \( x = 0 \).

- **Signs of \( f'' \):**
  - The function \( f \) is concave up for \( x < -1 \) and \( x > 1 \).
  - It is concave down between \( x = -1 \) and \( x = 1 \).

- **Behavior at Infinity:**
  - \( f(x) \) approaches infinity as \( x \) approaches negative infinity.
  - \( f(x) \) approaches -1 as \( x \) approaches positive infinity.

- **Table of Values:**
  - At \( x = -2 \), \( f(x) = -1 \).
  - At \( x = -1 \), \( f(x) = 0 \).
  - At \( x = 0 \), \( f(x) = 2 \).
