Given the graph of f ′(x), the derivative of f(x), which of the following statements are true about the graph of f(x)? I. The graph of f does not have a point of inflection. II. The graph of f has a point of inflection at x = 2. III. The graph of f has a critical point at x = 2.

OpenStudy (lukeskylicker):

Can you give me the graph of f(x)?

OpenStudy (aryana_maria2323):

This is what the graph looks like @lukeskylicker

OpenStudy (lukeskylicker):

Do you know what a point of inflection is?

OpenStudy (aryana_maria2323):

no not really. this entire question is throwing me off. @lukeskylicker

OpenStudy (lukeskylicker):

A point of inflection is where a graph curves to the point where it appears to be going straight and then goes back in the direction it was going.

OpenStudy (aryana_maria2323):

Okay so this graph does have a point of inflection

OpenStudy (lukeskylicker):

No it does not. This is a so called "Bell curve" Where it goes up or down. Met's a minimum or maximum and then goes in the direction it came from.

OpenStudy (aryana_maria2323):

Okay so since it does not have a inflection it can't be answer two so it must be answer one?

OpenStudy (aryana_maria2323):

@lukeskylicker

OpenStudy (lukeskylicker):

You got it. Also sorry about the late response I had to leave.
