Problem

Three twice-differentiable functions A, B, and C are graphed on the same axes (graphs not shown). The following observations are recorded. • B is positive wherever A is increasing and negative wherever A is decreasing. • C is positive wherever B is increasing and negative wherever B is decreasing. • At x=4x=4, A has an inflection point, and B has a relative minimum. Which of the following identifications of A, B, and C is most consistent with these observations? a) A is f′f', B is f′′f'', C is ff b) A is f′′f'', B is ff, C is f′f' c) A is ff, B is f′f', C is f′′f'' d) A is ff, B is f′′f'', C is f′f'
