Question
Consider a function f with domain a<x<b. The following diagram shows the graph of f', the derivative of f.
The graph of f', the derivative of f, has x-intercepts at x=p, x=0 and x=t . There are local maximum points at x=q and x=t and a local minimum point at x=r.
Find all the values of x where the graph of f is increasing. Justify your answer.
Find the value of x where the graph of f has a local maximum.
Find the value of x where the graph of f has a local minimum. Justify your answer.
Find the values of x where the graph of f has points of inflexion. Justify your answer.
The total area of the region enclosed by the graph of f', the derivative of f, and the x-axis is 20.
Given that f(p)+f(t)=4, find the value of f(0).

Special note: In this question if candidates use the word 'gradient' in their reasoning. e.g. gradient is positive, it must be clear whether this is the gradient of f or the gradient of f' to earn the R mark.
f increases when p<x<0 A1
f increases when f'(x)>0 OR f' is above the x-axis R1
Note: Do not award A0R1.

Special note: In this question if candidates use the word 'gradient' in their reasoning. e.g. gradient is positive, it must be clear whether this is the gradient of f or the gradient of f' to earn the R mark.
f is minimum when x=p A1
because f'(p)=0, f'(x)<0 when x<p and f'(x)>0 when x>p
(may be seen in a sign diagram clearly labelled as f')
OR because f' changes from negative to positive at x=p
OR f'(p)=0 and slope of f' is positive at x=p R1

f has points of inflexion when x=q, x=r and x=t A2
f' has turning points at x=q, x=r and x=t
OR
f''(q)=0, f''(r)=0 and f''(t)=0 and f' changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa at each of these x-values (may be seen in a sign diagram clearly labelled as f'' and f') R1
