Also note thatf′(x)=0atx=−4, 2, 4, so the
graph offhas a horizontal tangent at each of
these points. The only graph that satisfies these
conditions is choice (A).
- The correct answer is (A).
Letxbe the length of the wire used to make a
circle. Therefore, the circumference of the
circle is 2πr=x,orr=

. The remaining wire
has a length of( 40 −x)and is made into a
square. Therefore, a side of the square is(

, and
f′(0)=−2. Therefore, the slope of the tangent
to the graph off atx=0is−2. Note that you
could also find f(x) and f′(0) using your
graphing calculator.
