Problem

A smooth graph of y=h(x)y=h(x) is increasing on the interval 1<x<51<x<5. Near x=2x=2 the tangent line appears to make a 30∘30^\circ angle with the horizontal, while near x=4x=4 the tangent line appears to make a 60∘60^\circ angle with the horizontal. Which of the following correctly compares h′(2)h'(2) and h′(4)h'(4)? a) h′(2)>h′(4)h'(2)>h'(4) b) h′(2)=h′(4)h'(2)=h'(4) c) h′(2)<h′(4)h'(2)<h'(4) d) h′(2)<0<h′(4)h'(2)<0<h'(4)
