If the graph of f(x) is given, with no equation, how do you draw the f'(x) graph, and vice versa.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

generally you want to make the extrema and inflection point of f(x) have f'(x) at 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so: f(x) ---> f'(x) points of inflexion ---> turning points turning points ---> x-intercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what about x-intercepts? what happens to them?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

THe x-intercepts have no special meaning for f'. It's just where the graph passes the x-axis. The slope of the graph could be anything there, so f' could be anything.
