Math 006 - Hints


Sketching the derivative of a function

Example: Sketch the derivatives of the following functions:

The first example is simplest. Each part of the graph of f(x) with a constant slope gives a part of the graph of f '(x) with constant height:

For the other two examples, add some tangent lines to the diagram, and get a rough idea of what their slope is, then you can plot points of f '(x), and then draw a line through them:
