Answer

We can see a sketch of a possible graph below.

Work Step by Step

$f'(0) = f'(4) = 0$ The slope of the graph is zero at $x = 0$ and $x=4$ $f'(x) = 1$ if $x \lt -1$ The graph has a constant slope of 1 in the interval $(-\infty, -1)$ $f'(x) \gt 0$ if $0 \lt x \lt 2$ The graph is increasing on this interval. $f'(x) \lt 0$ if $-1 \lt x \lt 0$ or $2 \lt x \lt 4$ or $x \gt 4$ The graph is decreasing on these intervals. $\lim\limits_{x \to 2^-}f'(x) = \infty$ $\lim\limits_{x \to 2^+}f'(x) = -\infty$ The graph has a vertical asymptote at $x = 2$ $f''(x) \gt 0$ if $-1 \lt x \lt 2$ or $2 \lt x \lt 4$ The graph is concave up on these intervals. $f''(x) \lt 0$ if $x \gt 4$ The graph is concave down on the interval $(4, \infty)$
