Graphical Analysis Consider the function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{2} x^{2}\).

(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function and estimate the values of \(f^{\prime}(0), f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(1)\), and \(f^{\prime}(2)\).

(b) Use your results from part (a) to determine the values of \(f^{\prime}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(-1)\), and \(f^{\prime}(-2)\).

(c) Sketch a possible graph of \(f^{\prime}\).

(d) Use the definition of derivative to find \(f^{\prime}(x)\).
