In Problem Set 1, Part 1C- Slope and Derivative, Question 4a), how does a sketcher know where the peak of the left part of the graph is? Can you tell without differentiating?

Now that I looked again at the question... \[x <-2, \] then the function is always negative... but the y-intercept is 0, so it can't go higher than that. Is there any other way to figure it out where the peak is?

Hi kablooey, eyeballing the peak can be very misleading. It is better to differentiate, however, some people have shown a knack for visualizing peaks and locations of lines, peaks and slopes.

penguin: Sitting by the river, Dreaming through my reflection, I wonder what has happened. What has caused this distance? We used to be together, Cuddling close to each other. What came between our beautiful love? I don't know, though I wish to. I can see you now, not alone You're holding a hand that's not mine Where am I? Why not next to you? Why am I away? I don't understand. You're smiling to the fullest. I am not the one making you happy. You are glancing at someone else. Why is it not me? Seeing you after such a long time, My heart sighs again. Something inside me growls loud 'Cause now your hand runs through her hair. I stand some distance well away, But the surroundings disappear. When I look at you, I feel lost inside I wish you back, my angel. There you are, holding her hand, And I am lost, trying to understand. I want you back, I really do, Just to hold your hand And walk with you.
