- If xis large, which function grows faster, f(x)=2x or g(x)=x2?arrow_forwardThe graph of the derivative of the function f(x) is given. List all intervals where f(x) is increasing and decreasing. a) f(x) is increasing: b) f(x) is decreasing:arrow_forwardFor each function, use our techniques to sketch the graph. Include asymptotes, at least one intercept,and a derivative chart. y=x/x-1 y=x2/x2+3 y=2(sqrt(x))-3arrow_forward
- Use the derivative f′(x)=(x−5)(x+1)(x+5) to determine the local maxima and minima of f and the intervals of increase and decrease. Sketch a possible graph of f (f is not unique).arrow_forwardMake a sign diagram for the derivative of the rational function. f(x) = 3x + 6 x − 2 relative max/min Find all asymptotesarrow_forwardChoose the correct answer. By definition, we call a function differentiable at a closed interval [a, b] if it has: [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at every point in the open interval (a, b), [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at the endpoint a, and [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at the endpoint b.arrow_forward
