To Sketch: The graph of
Answer to Problem 16E
The formula for
Explanation of Solution
The given function is
From the graph of
Thus, the derivative of the graph is always positive.
Draw the tangent to the graph at
Recall the fact that, the slope of the function at the point
Therefore,
Thus, the graph of the function
From the point A to left, the slope decreases rapidly. Thus, the graph of the function
From the point A to right, the slope is increasing slowly. Thus, the graph of the function
Graph:
Use the online graphing calculator to draw the graph of
Observation:
From Figure 1, it is observed that the graph of the derivative function seems to be
Thus, the derivative formula is,
