Question
![**Graph of the Derivative of Function \( f \)**
The graph depicts the derivative of the function \( f \). Our objective is to determine the \( x \)-coordinates of all stationary and singular points of \( f \), classifying each as a relative maximum, relative minimum, or neither. It is given that \( f(x) \) is defined and continuous throughout the interval \([-18, 18]\).
**Graph Analysis:**
- The \( y \)-axis represents the value of the derivative \( f'(x) \).
- The \( x \)-axis represents the input values for the function.
- The graph shows how the derivative behaves across the given interval:
- The graph crosses the \( x \)-axis at several points, indicating potential stationary points where the derivative equals zero.
**Classification and Points:**
1. **Stationary Non-Extreme Point:**
- At \( x = -6 \): The graph indicates a crossing at this point without a change of direction, suggesting a possible inflection point.
2. **Singular Minimum:**
- No singular minimum is identified from the graph.
3. **Stationary Maximum:**
- No stationary maximum is indicated in the options.
**Conclusion:**
Based on the graph, the only identified and classified point is a stationary non-extreme point at \( x = -6 \). Other classifications require a change in the direction of the derivative at zero which is not observed here.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/9323eabf-af9b-4aee-af45-de7912e46473/d2f146ee-eaf1-4d38-aa8a-2856fee6fa8f/if6m65yi_thumbnail.png)
