Question

Section 5.1 is specifically focusing on antiderivatives.  As the graph shown is f'(x), I am assuming I need to find the formula (equation) of the graph in order to find f(x) and answer questions (a)-(e).  I am having a difficult time discovering this formula (equation) and understanding if I am even approaching this problem correctly.  Please help! Thank you.
