$(i)$ $f(x)$ is continuous and defined for all real numbers.
$(ii)$ $f'(-5) = 0$; $f'(2)$ is not defined and $f'(4) = 0$.
$(iii)$ $(-5, 12)$ is a point which lies on the graph of $f(x)$.
$(iv)$ $f''(2)$ is undefined,but $f''(x)$ is negative everywhere else.
$(v)$ The signs of $f'(x)$ are given below:
$f'(x)$ sign chart:
- For $x < -5$,$f'(x) > 0$
- For $-5 < x < 2$,$f'(x) < 0$
- For $2 < x < 4$,$f'(x) > 0$
- For $x > 4$,$f'(x) < 0$
From the possible graph of $y = f(x)$,we can say that:

  • A
    There is exactly one point of inflection on the curve.
  • B
    $f(x)$ increases on $-5 < x < 2$ and $x > 4$ and decreases on $-\infty < x < -5$ and $2 < x < 4$.
  • C
    The curve is always concave down.
  • D
    The curve is always concave up.
