So where's the figure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do we get a picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello do you see the picture now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what i think: f is d f' is c f'' is b f''' is a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see it. so your f' is the slope of your function. this means that whenever your function has a negative slope, f' is going to be below the x axis. look for two functions so that when one changes it's direction to a negative direction the other goes beneath the x-axis and that will be your f and f'. as for the others i'm checking them out

joe math thanks....they were right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aww, beat me to it. lol. well the way you can tell f'' is that f'' will be the slope of your slope, if that makes sense. it's basically telling you how fast your slope is changing. so f'' will be under the x-axis when your f' has a negative slope and will be above when the slope is positive.

I have another one...do you mind helping me!
