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 ?

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

I think so
OpenStudy (trisarahtops):
wait so just to be sure am I right with f = C f' = B f"= A
