Exercise 23

Avg difficulty 2.5

For a certain function gg, g′(t)=−8\fe{\fd{g}}{t}=-8 at all values of tt on (−∞,−3)\ointerval{-\infty}{-3} and g′(t)=2\fe{\fd{g}}{t}=2 at all values of tt on (−3,∞)\ointerval{-3}{\infty}.

Lisa thinks that the graph of g′′\sd{g} is the line y=0y=0 but Janice disagrees. Who's right?
