Determine the graph of a function f from the graph of its derivative f'.

Use the definitions of increasing and decreasing to argue that is decreasing on and increasing on . Then use derivatives to argue the same thing.
The cost of manufacturing a container for frozen orange juice is cents, where is the height of the container in inches. Your boss claims that the containers will be the cheapest to make if they are inches tall. Use Theorem 3.3 to quickly show that he is wrong.
For each set of sign charts in Exercises 53–62, sketch a possible graph of f.

Restate Rolle’s Theorem so that its conclusion has to do with tangent lines.
