For each statement in Exercises–this exercise, decide which of the following is true.

  1. The statement is true regardless of the specific function ff.

  2. The statement is true for some functions and false for other functions.

  3. The statement is false regardless of the specific function ff.

If a function ff is increasing over the entire interval (−3,7)\ointerval{-3}{7} and f′(4)\fe{\fd{f}}{4} exists, then f′(4)=0\fe{\fd{f}}{4}=0.
