    The document provides information about interpreting the graph of a derivative f'(x). Specifically: - The graph shown is of the derivative f'(x), not the original function f(x) - The domain of f(x) is the set of real numbers from -4 to 4 - Using the graph of f'(x), the reader is asked to determine properties of the graph of f(x), including relative maxima/minima, increasing/decreasing intervals, points of inflection, concavity, and to sketch a possible graph of f(x) and its second derivative f"(x).
