The starting point of this paper is the following problem. Given \(n+1\,(n\geq0)\) moments of a real-valued continuously differentiable function \(f\), defined on [0,1], what can be said about the size of the image of \(df/dx\)? The authors give answers in the case of three (or fewer) moments and, in some cases, for four. In the general case of \(n+1\) moments, they show that the range of the derivative should contain the convex hull of a set of \(n\) numbers calculated in terms of Bernstein polynomials.
