(a)
Since f'(x) is decreasing, f'(5) > f'(6)

(b)
Since f'(x) is decreasing, d/dx (f'(x)) < 0 , i.e. f"(x) < 0
so f"(5) < 0

(c)
By mean value theorem.
f(5+△x) - f(5) = f'(c)△x, where c lies between 5 and 5+△x

case 1 △x > 0
Since f' is decreasing, so f'(c) < f'(5)
f(5+△x) - f(5) < f'(5)△x
i.e. f(5+△x) < f(5) + f'(5)△x

case 2 △x < 0
Since f' is decreasing, so f'(c) > f'(5)
f'(c)△x < f'(5)△x
f(5+△x) - f(5) < f'(5)△x (remember
i.e. f(5+△x) < f(5) + f'(5)△x
