Curve Analysis Project.

The two graphs I have made look very similar. Where they might differ is where the zeros are
crossed. For my hand drawn one the zeros are at (0,0), ( 3 √ 3 ,0), and ( −3 √ 3 ,0) which are hard to
put down on a hand drawn graph. The computer generated on will perfectly cross those two zeros.
Another thing that we can’t just point at the graph and say we achieved was the points of concavity.
When finding the f’’(x) we are able to get exact locations where the graph is concave up or down.

Once we know how to use derivatives to derive the equation of the graph, the curve analysis
process can be pretty simple. With that being states, for this particular curve it was difficult to locate the
inflection points. I struggled to calculate it since division by 0 would always happen to the equation. I
took it upon myself to see this through and used a software system to verify that the only inflection point
was 0 and right I was.

This project was extremely helpful with solidifying my understanding on how to draw a graph
with major precision unlike the graphs we would draw in Algebra. I have a hard time seeing how I could
apply this in my field of study, but one possibility is trying to picture what a graph would look like if we
took the velocity of particles or reactions. Most of this information is already computer generated, but
for instances where we might need to hand draw the graphs I will be able to do so.
