A curve sketched with the help of calculusThis graph of f(x) = x3 − 3x + 2 illustrates the essential steps in constructing a graph. The local maximum (at x = − 1) and the local minimum (at x = 1) are first plotted. Then a value for x is chosen from each of the three resulting ranges, x < −1, −1 < x < 1, and 1 < x, to suggest the general shape of the curve. Further values for x may be chosen to produce a more accurate graph.
