Question
Plot the derivative of f (x) = x/(x2 + 1) over [4, 4]. Use the graph to determine the intervals on which f (x) > 0 and f (x) < 0. Then plot f and describe how the sign of f (x) is reflected in the graph of f . 47
Solution
The first step in solving 3.3 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Plot the derivative of f (x) = x/(x2 + 1) over [4, 4]. Use the graph to determine the intervals on which f (x) > 0 and f (x) < 0. Then plot f and describe how the sign of f (x) is reflected in the graph of f . 47
From the textbook chapter Product and Quotient Rules you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
