The notion of the derivative of a function $f'(x)$ provides an answer to the following question: Select one: a. What does the value of a function behave when $x$ is changed a little bit? b. How can a function be represented graphically? c. What is the content of the area under the graph? d. Where does the graph intersect the $x$-axis?

The graph of the derivative $f^{\prime}$ of a function $f$ is shown. (a) On what intervals is $f$ increasing? Decreasing? (b) At what values of $x$ does $f$ have a local maximum? Local minimum? (c) If it is known that $f(0)=0$, sketch a possible graph of $f.$ (GRAPH CAN'T COPY)
