calculus-curve sketching general questions
non-descriptive answers
No, I actually have very specific questions. I am looking for someone to verify my findings.

Ok, I am working on a worksheet called How can one graph help describe another graph
I am graphing 3 functions. First one is x^2, second one is the first derivate of x^2, and the third graph is the second derivative of x^2
It is a worksheet for exploration and the purpose is for students to communicate about the graphs.
very well, what are your findings :-) ?
1. When is y1 increasing?decreasing?Changing from decreasing to increasing? Increasing from (0,+inf), Decreasing from (-inf , 0), Changing at (0,0)
2. When is y2 positive? Negative? Changing from being negative to positive? Positive (0,+inf), Negative (-inf, 0), Changing at (0,0)
3. When is y1 concave up? concave down? Concave up (-inf, inf) , does not convcave down
4. What do you notice about the slope of y2? How is this reflected in the graph of y3? Positive slopes, y3 is positive or above the x axis
Not sure if y3 is positive or above the x axis. Not sure which statement would receive credit for the AP Calculus Exam
oh well, I think I need to go to my other website and see if there are any graders there than can doublecheck my solutions and answer that question. Thanks for helping.
