Graphing Derivatives - Made Easy

[CallOFDutyMVP666]

This guy is freakin great.

[Agreedtodisagree]

thanks for confusing me sir. have a good day.

@houghtboysftw (myself) oops i meant on the f(x) graph the max/mins will be dots on the derivative graph!

[houghtboysftw]

The way I was taught is simple. Positive slope of f(x) = above the x-axis on the derivative graph. Same for the opposite... negative slope of f(x) = below the x-axis on the derivative graph. The dots on the f(x) graph will be critical values (relative max/mins) on the derivative graph.

I hope this helped!

....so essentially, it is the original graph moved down and bumped left/right a little bi?

Thank you....You are helpful, ergo you are nice.

i thought derivatives always had -1 curve

like if the f(x) has 3 curves then f prime(x) will have 2 curves....?

oh and do you have a vid on how to graph imperfect curves

the graph you showed had perfect curves

thanks so much, you saved my life!. can anyone but a link of graph an original function base on the derivative graph? i can't find it :(

[FarFromStandard]

@blackrose4854 Type in "Graphing Antiderivatives" on YouTube, it should be one of the first few that show up. Enjoy!

thank you so much! i was searching all over the net for graphing derivative based solely on a graph of f(x). (with no clear definition of what f(x) is)

how can 2 ppl dislike this? this video's a life saver! :)

[zeeksy]

thank you!!!! i totally understand it now. hope i can apply ur mthd successfully =))

[cheryyyim]

Nothing to say... but THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[orangeredmj]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH this was amazing.

I'll get a 100 on my next test hahaha ;D

[camdizzel]

nice brief and thou row explanation

[Xdohls]

Fantastic! Thanks so much.
