In summary, the given requirements for a continuous graph with the properties of f(0)=0, f(-1)=0, f'(0)=0, f'(1)=0, f'(x)>0 for 0<x<1 and x>1, and f'(x)<0 for (-1,0) and x<-1, are contradictory and a graph satisfying all these conditions cannot be created.

Plot a continue function graph with the following data o properties f(0)= 0 f of (-1) = 0 f of first derivative in 0 = 0?
f of first derivative in (1) = 0
first derivative (x) > 0 in x >1 and (0,1)
first derivative (x) < 0 in x < -1 and -1<x<0
see my graph is it correct?? where am I wrong

It's a bit difficult to decipher your requirements. Let me see if I have them correct here:

\begin{align*}
f(0)&=0 \quad \text{satisfied} \\
f(-1)&=0 \quad \text{not satisfied} \\
f'(0)&=0 \quad \text{satisfied} \\
f'(1)&=0 \quad \text{not satisfied} \\
f'(x)&>0 \; \forall \, x>1 \; \text{or} \; 0<x<1 \quad \text{satisfied} \\
f'(x)&<0 \; \forall \, x<-1 \; \text{or} \; -1<x<0 \quad \text{not satisfied}
\end{align*}

we keep on bad
Why is not satisfied?? in this two points?' without a graph is for me very difficult to understand

If what I wrote is indeed your requirements, there is an inherent contradiction. You require a continuous function on $[-1,0]$, and the requirement $f'(x)<0$ whenever $-1<x<0$ implies that $f$ is differentiable on $(-1,0)$. But then Rolle's Theorem implies there must be a $c\in(-1,0)$ such that $f'(c)=0$, contradicting your last requirement that $f'(x)<0$ for all $-1<x<0$.

The requirements that I wrote down cannot all be satisfied. Could you please state the original problem, word-for-word?

Also, could you please write understandable English, as per http://mathhelpboards.com/rules/? I am not able to decipher your posts.

Sketch a continuous graph with the following properties:

f(0)=0
f(-1)=0
f′(0)=0
f′(1)=0
f′(x)>0 for 0<x<1 and x>1
f′(x)<0 for (-1,0) and x<-1

About my english it is sorry to say I am from a latin Country and my mother tongue is not english

Thank you. Yes, the first two conditions contradict the last condition. It's not possible to create a graph with all these properties.

FAQ: Plotting a Continuous Function Graph with Given Data

How do I plot a continuous function graph with given data?

To plot a continuous function graph using given data, you will need to follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Organize your data - Make sure your data is organized in a table with two columns, one for the input values and one for the corresponding output values.
  • Step 2: Choose a scale - Decide on a suitable scale for your graph. This will depend on the range of your data.
  • Step 3: Plot the points - Plot each data point on the graph by placing a dot at the corresponding coordinates.
  • Step 4: Connect the dots - Use a ruler or a straight edge to draw a line connecting all the dots. This will give you a continuous graph.

What is a continuous function?

A continuous function is a function that has no "breaks" or "jumps" in its graph. This means that the graph is a smooth, unbroken curve and can be drawn without lifting the pen from the paper.

Can I plot a continuous function graph without data points?

No, it is not possible to plot a continuous function graph without any data points. The purpose of plotting a continuous function graph is to visualize the relationship between the input and output values, and this can only be done with data points.

What is the importance of plotting a continuous function graph?

Plotting a continuous function graph helps us to understand the behavior and patterns of a function. It allows us to visualize the relationship between the input and output values and identify any trends or patterns that may exist. It also helps in making predictions and analyzing the function's properties.

Are there any software or tools that can help with plotting a continuous function graph?

Yes, there are many software and tools available that can help with plotting a continuous function graph, such as Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, WolframAlpha, and Desmos. These tools allow you to input your data and automatically generate a graph for you, making the process faster and more accurate.
