- Concavity describes whether a graph opens upward (concave up) or downward (concave down). It indicates whether the graph is curving upwards like an "U" shape or downwards like an "n" shape.

Definition 1. A function f : S ⊂ Rn → R defined on a convex set S is concave if for any two points x1 x2 ∈ , S and for any λ ∈ [0, 1] we have: λx1 (1 − λ) x2 ≥ λf(x1) (1 − λ)f(x2) + +. is called strictly concave if for any two points x1 , x2 ∈ S and for any λ ∈ (0, 1) we have: λx1 (1 − λ) x2 > λf(x1) (1 − λ)f(x2) + +.
Given any x 1 or x 2 on an interval such that x 1 x 2, if f(x 1) > f(x 2), then f(x) is decreasing over the interval. In the graph of f'(x) below, the graph is decreasing from (-∞, 1) and increasing from (1, ∞), so f(x) is concave down from (-∞, 1) and concave up from (1, ∞).

Definition. Concavity describes whether a graph opens upward (concave up) or downward (concave down). It indicates whether the graph is curving upwards like an "U" shape or downwards like an "n" shape.
The second derivative tells us if a function is concave up or concave down. If \( f''(x) \) is positive on an interval, the graph of \( y=f(x) \) is concave up on that interval. We can say that \(f\) is increasing (or decreasing) at an increasing rate. If \( f''(x) \) is negative on an interval, the graph of \( y=f(x) \) is concave down on that ...
