Question

When I graph the derivative of a function, do I just derive it and then graph the derivative ?

Answer 1

\[\frac{x}{dx}~(~x^3+x+1~)\]

Answer 2

Yes you derive it and graph it.

You can use the power rule to derive this, should be easy but I can show you if you need

Answer 3

The derivative is \[x^2+1\] and then
y-intercept (0,1)
x-intercepts are all imaginary.
x=± 1, y=2
x=± 2, y=5
x=± 3, y=10
x=± 4, y=17

U shaped parabola.

Answer 4

No that's not the derivative
