Draw the derivative for the following graphs.

386.
The function begins at (−3, 0.5) and decreases to a local minimum at (−2.3, −2). Then the function increases through (−1.5, 0) and slows its increase through (0, 2). It then slowly increases to a local maximum at (2.3, 6) before decreasing to (3, 3).
387.
The function decreases linearly from (−1, 4) to the origin, at which point it increases as x2, passing through (1, 1) and (2, 4).
