f is a function that is differentiable for all reals. The value of f ′(x) is given for several values of x in the table below.
The table:
x -8,-3,0,3,8
f'(x)-4,-2,0,4,5

If f ′(x) is always increasing, which statement about f(x) must be true?
f(x) passes through the origin
f(x) is concave down for all x
f(x) has a relative minimum at x=0
f(x) has an inflection point at x=0

My answer is the last one,d

Options:
2
-8

  1. #1 not D, since f' is always increasing, f" cannot be zero anywhere. So, no inflection points. I like C, since f'(0) = 0. f has a minimum, since f" > 0 and thus f is concave up.

    g(x) = f(2x), so
    g'(x) = f'(2x)*2
    g'(0.2) = f'(0.2)*2 = 2*2 = 4
    You are correct.

  2. Come to think of it, I changed my mind.

    g'(0.2) = f'(0.4)*2 = -8
