EXAMPLE 5
Sketch a possible graph of a function f that satisfies the following conditions.
(i)
f'(x) > 0 on (-∞, 1), f'(x) < 0 on (1, o)
(ii)
f"(x) > 0 on (-∞, -2) and (2, 0), f"(x) < 0 on (-2, 2)
(ii)
lim f(x) = -3, lim f(x) =
X → 00
X> -00
1
2
SOLUTION
Condition (i) tells us that f is increasing on (-o, 1) and decreasing on (1, o). Condition (ii) says that f is concave upward on
-00,
and
and concave downward on
From (iii) we know that the graph of f has two horizontal asymptotes:
00
y =
and y = 0.
Video Example
First we draw the horizontal asymptote y =
as a dashed line (see the figure). We then draw the graph of f approaching this asymptote at the far
left, increasing to its maximum point at x = 1 and decreasing toward the x-axis at the far right. We also make sure that the graph has inflection points
Notice that we made the curve bend upward for x < -2 and x > 2, and bend downward when x is between
when x = -2 and
and 2.
