Question

computer video games can be delivered in one of two formats: digital (downloaded from a site) or physical (such as a dvd). the graph shows the thousands of games delivered in physical format since 2004 from the company supersoft. notice a downward surge occurred when digital formats first became more affordable and available. complete parts a through b below. a. is f (2008) positive or negative? a. positive b. negative

Explanation:

Step1: Recall derivative meaning

The derivative $f^{\prime}(x)$ represents the slope of the tangent - line to the graph of $y = f(x)$ at $x$.

Step2: Analyze the graph at $x = 2008$

Looking at the graph of the number of games in physical format over time, at $x = 2008$, the function is decreasing. A decreasing function has a negative - slope tangent line.

Answer:

B. negative
