Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on plotting a continuous function graph based on specific derivative conditions and values. Key properties include that the function has x-intercepts at (4,0) and (-2,0), a local maximum or minimum at x=3, and inflection points at x=1 and x=2. The second derivative is positive between x=1 and x=2, indicating concavity, while it is negative outside this interval. Participants express confusion over the initial description and suggest rewriting the conditions more clearly. The final graph representation aligns with these mathematical properties, confirming the correct interpretation of the data.

Plot a continue function graph with the following data o properties f(4)= 0 f of (-2) = 0 f of second derivative in 1 = 0?
f of first derivative in (3) = 0
f de second derivative in 2 =0
2nd derivative (x) > 0 and (1,2)
2nd derivative (x) < 0 in x < 1 and x>2
see my graph is it correct?? where am I wrong??
I got confused because secon and first derivative descipcion in 3 does not match with the data given View attachment 2728m

What are you trying to achieve using different prepositions and writing conditions on $f$ and its derivatives in four different ways? Please rewrite your conditions as equations of the form
\begin{align*}
f(\dots)=\dots\\
f'(\dots)=\dots\\
f''(\dots)=\dots\\
\end{align*}
 
Hello, leprofece!

Your description is awful!

Sketch a continuous graph with the following properties:

\begin{array}{cc}[1] &amp;f(4)\:=\: 0 \\ [2] &amp; f(\text{-}2) \:=\: 0 \\ [3] &amp; f&#039;(3) \:=\: 0 \\ [4] &amp; f&#039;&#039;(1) \:=\: 0 \\ [5] &amp; f&#039;&#039;(2) \:=\: 0 \\ [6] &amp; f&#039;&#039;(x) &gt; 0\,\text{ for }1 &lt; x &lt; 2 \\ [7] &amp;f&#039;&#039;(x) &lt; 0\,\text{ for }x &lt; 1\text{ and }x &gt; 2 \end{array}
[1] & [2]: $x$-intercepts at (4,0),\;(\text{-}2,0)

[3]: Max/min when x = 3.

[4] & [5]: Inflection points when x = 1,\;x = 2.

[6]: Graph is concave up on (1,2)

[7]: Graph is concave down elsewhere.The graph looks like this:

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
