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).


  1. 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.
