the derivitive is just the slope

minimum happens when the derivitive goes from negative to positive, imagine a slope of the function, the minimum is where the slope goes from neative to positive, and to get there, it has to pass through 0

max happens when the derivitive goes from positive to negative

increaseing is when the derivitive is positive



so, based on what you said, the slope of f(x) is 0 at x=-3, x=1 and x=2 since those are where the derivitive is 0 (derivitive is just the slope)

A and B are wrong because the derivitive isn't 0 at those points

C is correct because increasing means that the derivitive is positive, and so therefo since the only hoirontal place in between 1 and 2 is 1.5, it must remain positive throughout and not dip down, C is right

D is wrong then




answer is C
