Plot a continue function graph with the following data o properties f(4)= 0 f of (-2) = 0 f of second derivative in 1 = 0?
f of first derivative in (3) = 0
f de second derivative in 2 =0
2nd derivative (x) > 0 and (1,2)
2nd derivative (x) < 0 in x < 1 and x>2
see my graph is it correct?? where am I wrong??
I got confused because secon and first derivative descipcion in 3 does not match with the data given View attachment 2728m

What are you trying to achieve using different prepositions and writing conditions on $f$ and its derivatives in four different ways? Please rewrite your conditions as equations of the form
\begin{align*}
f(\dots)=\dots\\
f'(\dots)=\dots\\
f''(\dots)=\dots\\
\end{align*}

Hello, leprofece!

Your description is awful!


Sketch a continuous graph with the following properties:

[tex]\begin{array}{cc}[1] &f(4)\:=\: 0 \\ [2] & f(\text{-}2) \:=\: 0 \\ [3] & f'(3) \:=\: 0 \\ [4] & f''(1) \:=\: 0 \\ [5] & f''(2) \:=\: 0 \\ [6] & f''(x) > 0\,\text{ for }1 < x < 2 \\ [7] &f''(x) < 0\,\text{ for }x < 1\text{ and }x > 2 \end{array}[/tex]

[1] & [2]: $x$-intercepts at [tex](4,0),\;(\text{-}2,0)[/tex]

[3]: Max/min when [tex]x = 3.[/tex]

[4] & [5]: Inflection points when [tex]x = 1,\;x = 2.[/tex]

[6]: Graph is concave up on [tex](1,2)[/tex]

[7]: Graph is concave down elsewhere.The graph looks like this:

FAQ: Plot a Continuous Function Graph: Data Analysis & Solutions

What is a continuous function graph?

A continuous function graph is a graphical representation of a mathematical function that does not have any breaks or interruptions in its graph. This means that every point on the graph is connected, and there are no gaps or jumps in the line.

How do you plot a continuous function graph?

To plot a continuous function graph, you need to first determine the domain and range of the function. Then, choose a set of values for the independent variable (x) and use the function to calculate the corresponding values for the dependent variable (y). Plot these points on a graph and connect them with a smooth, continuous line.

What is the purpose of data analysis in plotting a continuous function graph?

Data analysis is important in plotting a continuous function graph because it helps to identify patterns and trends in the data, which can then be used to create a more accurate and meaningful graph. It also allows for the identification of any outliers or anomalies that may need to be taken into consideration.

What are some common solutions to problems that may arise when plotting a continuous function graph?

Some common solutions to problems when plotting a continuous function graph include double-checking the data for accuracy, adjusting the scale of the graph if needed, and using a different type of graph (such as a logarithmic scale) to better represent the data. It is also important to consider the limitations of the data and the function being graphed.

How does the shape of a continuous function graph relate to the function's properties?

The shape of a continuous function graph can provide information about the function's properties, such as its domain, range, and behavior at different points. For example, a graph that is increasing from left to right indicates a positive slope and a function that is always positive. Similarly, a graph that is concave up indicates a function with a positive second derivative, and a graph that is concave down indicates a function with a negative second derivative.
