Step 1
A negative dy/dx means the function is decreasing, and a positive dy/dx means the function is increasing. From the given options, we can analyze each point: a. At point A, the function is increasing, so dy/dx is positive. b. At point B, the function is Show more…

The graph of a function y=f(x) is shown. At which point(s) are the following statements true? Select all that apply. (a) dy/dx and d^2y/dx^2 are both positive. (b) dy/dx and d^2y/dx^2 are both negative. (c) dy/dx is negative but d^2y/dx^2 is positive.

Using the graph of $f,$ (a) determine whether $d y / d t$ is positive or negative given that $d x / d t$ is negative, and (b) determine whether $d x / d t$ is positive or negative given that $d y / d t$ is positive.
