O What property of the derivative can be used to show the function is one-to-one? A. The derivative approaches zero as x approaches infinity. OB. The derivative is undefined at x = 1. OC. The derivative is decreasing over its domain. D. The derivative is positive over its domain. How does this show the function is one-to-one? This indicates that the function is symmetric about the origin. Functions that are are one-to-one. symmetric

If the graph of a differentiable function $f(x)$ is symmetric about the line $x=a,$ what can you say about the symmetry of the graph of $f^{\prime}(x) ?$
Differentiation
The Chain Rule
$$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Symmetry of a Graph A function } f \text { is symmetric }} \\ {\text { with respect to the origin. Is } f^{\prime} \text { necessarily symmetric }} \\ {\text { with respect to the origin? Explain. }}\end{array}$$
The Derivative and the Tangent Line Problem
(a) A function $f$ is said to be even if the equation $f(-x)=f(x)$ is satisfied by all values of $x$ in the domain of $f .$ Explain why the graph of an even function must be symmetric about the $y$ -axis. (b) Show that each function is even by computing $f(-x)$ and then noting that $f(x)$ and $f(-x)$ are equal. (i) $f(x)=x^{2}$ (iii) $f(x)=3 x^{6}-\frac{4}{x^{2}}+1$ (ii) $f(x)=2 x^{4}-6$
