d(line's equation) is a parabola's equation idea questioned!

Project # ____ Calculus II

Show a graph of a function that is a straight line and list that function with the added condition that the graph of a derivative of this function is a parabola.

Your thinking about this problem could start with some straight lines for examples such as;

  • (a) x = 1,

  • (b) y = x,

  • (c) y = -x + 1,

  • (d) y = 1,

  • (e) all of the above,

  • (f) none of the above.



    • Only one of (a), (b), (c), or (d) has a given type of derivative that is not a parabola. Please go back and rethink this problem or, if you need to, go on to additional hints.
