Example 5 The graph of a function fis given in the following figure. f y=f(x) Q Make a rough sketch of an antiderivative F, given that F(0) = 2. Solution We are guided by the fact that the slope of y= F(x) is f(x). We start at the point (0, 2) and draw F as an initially decreasing ✔✔✔ function since f(x) is negative ✔✔✔ when 0 3, f(x) is negative, and so F is decreasing on (3,00). Since f(x) - 0 0 r 1 as x→ ∞o, the graph of F becomes flatter as x00. Also notice that F(x)= f'(x) changes from positive to negative at x = 2 and from negative to positive at x = 4 ✓ We use this information to sketch the graph of the antiderivative in the figure below. y= F(x) ✔ so F has inflection points when x = 2 and x = 4
