What would this graph look like? I appreciate any help I can get :)
![**Sketch the Graph of a Continuous Function**
**Description and Conditions**
Given a continuous function \( f \) on the interval \([0, 4]\), sketch the graph of \( f \) based on the following properties:
1. The derivative \( f'(x) \) equals 0 at \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 3 \).
2. The derivative \( f'(2) \) is undefined.
3. The function \( f \) has an absolute maximum at \( x = 2 \).
4. The function \( f \) has neither a local maximum nor a local minimum at \( x = 1 \).
5. The function \( f \) has an absolute minimum at \( x = 3 \).
**Explanation of Properties**
1. **\( f'(x) = 0 \) at \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 3 \)**: This means the slope of the function at these points is zero, indicating that these are potential points of horizontal tangency.
2. **\( f'(2) \) is undefined**: At \( x = 2 \), the derivative does not exist, possibly indicating a cusp or vertical tangent at this point.
3. **Absolute Maximum at \( x = 2 \)**: The highest point on the graph within the interval \([0, 4]\) occurs at \( x = 2 \).
4. **Neither a Local Maximum nor a Local Minimum at \( x = 1 \)**: The point \( x = 1 \) is a point of inflection, meaning the graph changes concavity but does not form a peak or a trough.
5. **Absolute Minimum at \( x = 3 \)**: The lowest point on the graph within the interval \([0, 4]\) occurs at \( x = 3 \).
**Graphical Representation**
To represent graphically:
- Plot points: \((1, f(1))\), \((2, f(2))\), \((3, f(3))\) based on the given properties.
- Ensure that at \( x = 2 \), there's a sharp turn or cusp where \( f'(2) \) is undefined, and this point is the highest on the interval.
- At \( x = 3 \), make sure it is the lowest point, indicating an absolute minimum.
