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
Answer:
If you want a simple average, you can add all the speeds you see and divide them by the number of how many they are.
So firstly you have to calculate the speed of the first point, which is:
20 miles/0.5 hour
That means: 40 miles/hour
That would be your first "speed"
Then you calculate all of them :speed1+speed2+speed3 = something.
As an example: 20miles/hr + 40miles/hr+0miles/hr = 60miles/hr
Then, you divide it by how many "speeds" they are: 60miles/hr divided by 3 if I continue my previous example.
It is my first answer, and I hope I could help you a bit!
Sorry for the awkward English, as it is not my mother tongue.

Answer:
George made the first mistake by multiplying by 7 instead of 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cars needed to have a mean of 24:
24 x 8 = 192
Total cars sold during the seven months:
18 + 22 + 26 + 12 + 25 + 20 + 19 = 142
Subtract the total cars sold from the total cars needed:
192 - 142 = 50
George needs to sell 50 cars in the eight month in order to have an average of 24 cars sold per month.
