For each set of sign charts in Exercises 53–62, sketch a possible graph of f.

Use the first derivative test to determine the local extrema of each function in Exercises 39- 50. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
Use a sign chart for to determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
For the graph of f in the given figure, approximate all the values x ∈ (0, 4) for which the derivative of f is zero or does not exist. Indicate whether f has a local maximum, minimum, or neither at each of these critical points.

Use the definition of the derivative to find f' for each function f.
