Analysis of Absolute Value Graph
这个问题需要我们找到给定函数 f(x) = |x^2 - 4| 图形的正确版本。首先让我们来分析一下这个函数。 函数的基础部分是 x^2 - 4，这是一个向上开口的抛物线，其顶点在 x 轴下方 4 个单位。但是，因为整个函数被绝对值 | | 包裹，所以所有在 x 轴以下的部分都会被“反射”到 x 轴的上方。换句话说，抛物线 y = x^2 - 4 下方的部分在 y = 0 的位置被折叠到上方。 因此，我们要找的图形是这样的：一个顶点在 (0, 4) 的向上开口抛物线，但是在 x = -2 和 x = 2 这两个点，即 y = 0 的位置，它会有一个角点，并继续向上。在 x 轴以下的部分不存在，因为它们由于绝对值的作用被反映到了上方。 根据这点分析，我们可以确定正确答案是选项 (C)，因为它是唯一展示了在 x 轴上方的绝对值抛物线，其在 x = -2 和 x = 2 处有角点的函数图形。其他选项要么不符合抛物线的基本形状，要么在 x 轴以下有图形部分，这不符合绝对值的性质。
Locating Local Maximum of a Function
從圖中所提供的資訊，函數 f'(x) 在不同的 x 值有不同的結果。如果我們希望找到區域性最大值，我們就需要找到函數 f'(x) 由正轉負的點，因為這表示函數 f(x) 從增加轉為減少。 從表中我們可以看到： - 在 x=1 時，f'(1) = -2，函數在此減少。 - 在 x=2 時，f'(2) = 3，函數在此增加。 - 在 x=3 時，f'(3) = 0，函數在此沒有增減。 - 在 x=4 時，f'(4) = -5，函數在此減少。 於是我們可以看到在 x=2 到 x=3 的區間，函數 f'(x) 從正轉為負 (f'(2) 為正而 f'(4) 為負)。這意味著在 x=3 左側的某一點，函數 f(x) 可能達到一個區域性最大值。 因此，在所提供的選項中，(C) (2, 4) 區間保證了函數 f 在某一點會達到區域性最大值。所以正確答案是 (C) (2, 4)。
Identifying Local Maximum with First Derivative
根据题目中给出的一阶导数 \(f'(x)\) 的值，我们可以判断函数 \(f(x)\) 在哪个区间上可能达到局部最大值。 局部最大值出现在一阶导数由正变负的点。根据表格，当 \(x\) 从 0 变到 1 时，\(f'(x)\) 由 1 变为 -2，所以这是由正到负的变化。因此，在 \(x = 1\) 处 \(f(x)\) 可能存在局部最大值。所以我们关心的区间至少包括这一点。 因此，答案是选项 (B) (1, 2)，因为这个区间包含了 \(x = 1\) 这点，在 \(x = 1\) 处函数 \(f(x)\) 从增加变为减少，所以这里可能有一个局部最大值。其他区间，包括 (0, 1)、(2, 4) 和 (3, 5)，要么不包含这一点，要么 \(f'(x)\) 的符号没有从正变为负。所以这些区间都不是我们寻找的区间。
Identifying Graph with Specific Derivatives
The problem in the image is asking to identify the graph of a function g(x) that has a positive derivative over the interval (-∞, -4) and a negative derivative over the interval (-4, ∞). A positive derivative means that the function is increasing on that interval, and a negative derivative means the function is decreasing on that interval. Let's examine each option: A. This graph shows a function that is decreasing (negative derivative) over the interval (-∞, -4) and increasing (positive derivative) over the interval (-4, ∞). This is the opposite of what we're looking for. B. This graph shows a function that is increasing (positive derivative) over the interval (-∞, -4) and decreasing (negative derivative) over the interval (-4, ∞). This matches the description given. C. This graph shows a function that is increasing over both intervals, which does not match the given criteria of a positive derivative only over (-∞, -4) and a negative derivative over (-4, ∞). Therefore, the correct graph that matches the description given is option B.
Analyzing Functions: Domain, Range, and Functionality
The task is to determine the domain, range, and whether each graph represents a function for each of the six examples. A function is defined as a relation where every input (usually x) has exactly one output (usually y). A common test for functions is the vertical line test. If a vertical line intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not represent a function. a) For the first graph, which looks like a parabola facing upwards: - The domain is all real numbers since the parabola continues infinitely in both left and right directions. (Domain: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to the minimum value of the parabola. Since the vertex is at the x-axis, the minimum y-value is 0. (Range: [0, ∞)) - The graph passes the vertical line test, hence it is a function. b) For the second graph, which is a semicircle: - The domain is the length of the semicircle's base which ranges from -5 to 5. (Domain: [-5, 5]) - The range is the height of the semicircle which ranges from 0 to 5 or the radius of the semicircle. (Range: [0, 5]) - The graph does not pass the vertical line test (any vertical line between x = -5 and x = 5 would intersect the graph twice), hence it is not a function. c) For the third graph, which appears to be a cubic polynomial: - The domain is all real numbers as the graph continues infinitely in both the left and right directions. (Domain: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The range is also all real numbers, as the graph goes infinitely in the upward and downward directions. (Range: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The graph passes the vertical line test, hence it is a function. d) For the fourth graph, which looks like an absolute value function reflected over the x-axis: - The domain is all real numbers as the graph continues infinitely both to the left and right. (Domain: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The range includes all real numbers less than or equal to the maximum value at the x-axis. Since the vertex is at the x-axis, the maximum y-value is 0. (Range: (-∞, 0]) - The graph passes the vertical line test, hence it is a function. e) For the fifth graph, which is a straight line with a negative slope: - The domain is all real numbers, as the line extends infinitely in both left and right directions. (Domain: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The range is also all real numbers, as the line extends infinitely in both the upward and downward directions. (Range: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The graph passes the vertical line test, hence it is a function. f) For the sixth graph, which looks like an arrow going downward: - The domain is all real x-values where the graph is defined. Since the graph is an arrow pointing downwards and stops, the domain is not clearly defined from the image, but it might stop at x = 6 as it appears to. A reasonable assumption would be that domain is all real numbers less than or equal to 6. (Domain: (-∞, 6] or another interval depending on where the graph actually ends.) - The range is the set of y-values that the arrow points to. In this case, it appears to point infinitely downwards, so the range would be all real numbers. (Range: ℝ or (-∞, ∞)) - The graph does not pass the vertical line test since, at x = 6, it appears that multiple y-values are associated with this single x-value. However, since the arrow might indicate a single limit point, without more context or clarity about the graph's intention, it's ambiguous whether this is a function. If the arrow indicates a single point at x = 6, it could still be considered a function. But if the arrow indicates an interval, then it's not a function.
Function Analysis from Hand-Drawn Graph
The image shows a hand-drawn graph of a function f(x) and also contains two handwritten questions in Turkish. Before I proceed to translate and answer your questions, I'll describe the graph of the function f(x) as per the provided image: The graph appears to depict a continuous function f(x) with the following characteristics: - The function has a local maximum at x = 2. - The function has a local minimum at some x-value between 3 and 4. - The function has x-intercepts at x = 1, 2, and 5. - There is a point of inflection where the concavity of the function changes around x = 3. The handwritten questions in Turkish ask for the following: a) Determine the intervals in which the function is increasing and decreasing (Artan ve azalan aralıkları belirleyin). b) Find the maximum and minimum points of the function (Maksimum ve minimum noktalarını bulun). Let me address each part based on the provided graph: a) Increasing and Decreasing Intervals: - The function is increasing from the left of the graph up to x = 2, where it reaches a local maximum. - Then the function is decreasing from x = 2 to approximately x = 3.5 (assuming that the local minimum appears around there, as the exact x-value is unclear from the sketch). - After this local minimum, the function starts increasing again until it goes off the right edge of the graph. So, the intervals in which the function is increasing and decreasing are: - Increasing: (-∞, 2) and (approximately 3.5, +∞) - Decreasing: (2, approximately 3.5) b) Maximum and Minimum Points: - The local maximum is at x = 2. The exact value of f(2) is not provided, but based on the graph, it is below 5/2 as indicated on the graph. - The local minimum occurs between x = 3 and x = 4. The exact coordinates of the minimum are unable to be determined without more information or a clearer graph. Please note that the answers are based on the interpretation of the drawn graph, which may not be perfectly scaled or accurate.
