Well if you look at the graphs, you can see that function A resembles something like \(\large f(x) = x^2 \) and function B is something like \(\large f(x) = x^3 \) .. Care to guess what function C is like?

OpenStudy (trisarahtops):

f ?

OpenStudy (trisarahtops):

f = C f' = A f"= B

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You sure about that? If we take the derivative of A again, \(\large f''(x) = 2x \) , which \(\large 2x \ne x^3 \)

OpenStudy (trisarahtops):

sooo f = C f' = B f"= A ?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If you agree that function A is a degree 4, then yes. It looks like it could be \(x^4 \) don't ya think?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

*function C, not A

OpenStudy (trisarahtops):

I think so

OpenStudy (trisarahtops):

wait so just to be sure am I right with f = C f' = B f"= A

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yup!
