Chapter 2 - Derivatives - 2.2 The Derivative as a Function - 2.2 Exercises - Page 129: 47

Answer

a = f, b = f', c = f''. We can see this because where a has a horizontal tangent, b = 0, and where b has a horizontal tangent, c = 0. We can immediately see that c can be neither f nor f' , since at the points where c has a horizontal tangent, neither a nor b is equal to 0.
