The figure shows two parts of the graph of a continuous differentiable function f on [10, 4].

Question:

The figure shows two parts of the graph of a continuous differentiable function f on [−10, 4]. The derivative f′ is also continuous. To print an enlarged copy of the graph, go to MathGraphs.com.

(a) Explain why f must have at least one zero in [−10, 4].

(b) Explain why f′ must also have at least one zero in the interval [−10, 4]. What are these zeros called?

(c) Make a possible sketch of the function, where f′ has one zero on the interval [−10, 4].
