Q. The graph shows the derivative, f(x), for a piecewise function f(x).a. Determine the intervals of x where f(x) is increasing, decreasing, and constant. Justify your answers!(Have to use the graph of the derivative given - to make conclusions about the graph of the original/actual function!)Increasing:Decreasing:
Find Increasing Intervals: To find where f(x) is increasing, look for where its derivative, f′(x), is positive on the graph.
Find Decreasing Intervals: For decreasing intervals, find where f′(x) is negative.
Identify Constant Intervals: Where f′(x) is zero, f(x) is constant.
Graph Analysis: Increasing: If the graph of f′(x) is above the x-axis, then f(x) is increasing. Let's say f′(x)>0 from x=1 to x=3.
