Answer

$f'(1)=0$ $f'(2)= 0.8$

Work Step by Step

From the given figure, we can see that: The tangent line at $x= 1$ is horizontal, so $f'(1)= 0$ To find $f'(2) $, we find two points on the tangent line, for instance $ ( 2,2) $ and $( 2.5 ,2.4)$: \begin{align*} f'(2)&\approx \frac{2.4-2}{2.5-2}\\ &\approx 0.8 \end{align*}
