Problem 60

Graphical Reasoning Consider the function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{3} x^{3}\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function and estimate the values of \(f^{\prime}(0), f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(1), f^{\prime}(2),\) and \(f^{\prime}(3) .\) (b) Use your results from part (a) to determine the values of \(\quad f^{\prime}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(-1), f^{\prime}(-2),\) and \(f^{\prime}(-3) .\) (c) Sketch a possible graph of \(f^{\prime}\) (d) Use the definition of derivative to find \(f^{\prime}(x)\)
