The graph of the derivative \(f^{\prime}\) on \(0\le x\le6\) is shown.
a) At what x-value does \(f\) have an inflection point? Justify your answer using the graph of \(f^{\prime}\).
b) Given \(f(0)=0\), use geometric area to find \(f(4)\).
c) Describe the graph of \(f\), incorporating the information from parts a and b.

Hints
- An inflection point of \(f\) occurs where \(f^{\prime}\) changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa.
- The signed area under \(f^{\prime}\) gives the change in \(f\).
- Use the sign of \(f^{\prime}\) for monotonicity and its increasing or decreasing behavior for concavity.
Solution
1. The derivative \(f^{\prime}\) changes from increasing to decreasing at \(x=2\). Therefore, the concavity of \(f\) changes there, so \(f\) has an inflection point at \(x=2\).
2. By accumulation of change, \(f(4)-f(0)=\int_0^4 f^{\prime}(x)\,dx\). The region is a triangle with base \(4\) and height \(2\), so its area is \(\frac12\cdot4\cdot2=4\). Thus, \(f(4)=4\).
3. From \(x=0\) to \(x=4\), \(f^{\prime}>0\), so \(f\) increases from \((0,0)\) to a local maximum at \((4,4)\). The area from \(0\) to \(2\) is \(2\), so the inflection point is \((2,2)\). The graph is concave up on \((0,2)\), concave down on \((2,6)\), and decreases after \(x=4\).
Answer
a) \(x=2\)
b) \(f(4)=4\)
c) The graph passes through \((0,0)\), has an inflection point at \((2,2)\), reaches a local maximum at \((4,4)\), and then decreases. It is concave up on \((0,2)\) and concave down on \((2,6)\).
