I don't know but I don't see the correct answer there. Ha!! if A) is correct one, then C is f, B is f' and A is f'' However, f'=0 when f get max/min. B =0 at (0,0) but at this point, C is neither max nor min. so, it can be the correct one.

Moreover, A is f" and it is >0 at all x, that means f has concave up at all interval, but C has concave down in 2 intervals. That's not true if A ) is correct.

Think about the graphs of polynomials. You should see a quartic, a cubic, and a quadratic. Then think about which is the derivative of which.

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh, if solving the problem by this logic, then A is correct answer. Ha!! I was taught that I have to read the graph to find out which one is original function.

However, I am not convinced with that answer. I am sorry, I am picky.
