Explanation:

Step1: Recall derivative meaning

The derivative $f'(x)$ represents the rate of change of the function $f(x)$. If $f'(x)>0$, the function is increasing; if $f'(x)<0$, the function is decreasing.

Step2: Analyze the graph at 2008

Looking at the graph of the number of games in physical format over time, in 2008, the graph is going down - ward. This means the function representing the number of physical - format games is decreasing at $x = 2008$. So $f'(2008)<0$.

Answer:

a. B. negative
b. decreasing
