- A function is said to be concave up if it bends upwards, resembling the shape of a cup, and concave down if it bends downwards, like the shape of a cap. The concavity of a function can vary over its domain, and these changes in concavity are identified by points known as inflection points.

Sep 9, 2023 · Definition: An object or a function is concave if it curves inward. In simple terms, it’s hollow or bowed in, much like a cave. Everyday Examples: A bowl. A satellite dish. A spoon’s interior. Skateboard ramps. A pie with a slice taken out of it. Convex.

The concavity of the graph of a function refers to the curvature of the graph over an interval; this curvature is described as being concave up or concave down. Generally, a concave up curve has a shape resembling "∪" and a concave down curve has a shape resembling "∩" as shown in the figure below. Concave up.
