#graph derivative

Can you send picture of graph?
it’s honestly something that isn’t the most intuitive i remember when i started graphing integrals and derivatives of a given f(x) it was so mind twisting
you basically for derivatives have to think to yourself what is the rate of change (negative or positive) at every point in the graph
the best way to improve is to see various juxtapositions between f(x) and f’(x) to understand and get use to the patterns
it would be B
from the negative side of the x axis till zero, the rate of change is positive for the top graph so the derivative graph would only be positive up to zero on the x axis
then from 0 and beyond the rate of change for the top graph is negative which is seen in graph B
and then for the f(x) the rate of change AT 0 is 0 due to horizontal nature
so hence at x= 0, y=0
And you may say, well everything i listed is also seen in graph F which is true so this is where you need to understand rate of changes even more
at the start of f(x) the rate of change is near vertical making it almost zero, this is reflected in graph B starting near zero
The correct answer is F, thanks for your help!!
