Given the following graph of f , graphically estimate the global extrema of f on each of the six intervals listed:

Use Rolle’s Theorem to prove that if is continuous and differentiable everywhere and has three roots, then its derivative has at least two roots.
For Exercises 15–20, sketch the graph of a function f that has the indicated characteristics. If a graph is not possible, explain why.
f negative, f' positive, and f'' positive on
Intervals of behavior: For each of the following functions , determine the intervals on which is positive, negative, increasing, decreasing, concave up, and concave down.
Determine whether or not each function f in Exercises 41–48 satisfies the hypotheses of Rolle’s Theorem on the given interval [a, b]. For those that do, use derivatives and algebra to find the exact values of all c ∈ (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of Rolle’s Theorem.
