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.

For each graph of f in Exercises 49–52, explain why f satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval [a, b] and approximate any values c ∈ (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.

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 .

Explain the difference between two antiderivatives of the function.
Sketch the graph of a function f with the following properties:
f is continuous and defined on R;
f has critical points at x = −3, 0, and 5;
f has inflection points at x = −3, −1, and 2.
