   Dec 21, 2020 · If we are trying to understand the shape of the graph of a function, knowing where it is concave up and concave down helps us to get a more accurate picture. Of particular interest are points at which the concavity changes from up to down or down to up; such points are called inflection points.

   This notion is called the concavity of the function. Figure 4.34(a) shows a function f with a graph that curves upward. As x increases, the slope of the tangent line increases. Thus, since the derivative increases as x increases, f′ is an increasing function. We say this function f is concave up.

   Which function is concave down over the interval?

   • Since f′′(x) < 0 for x > a, the function f is concave down over the interval (a, ∞). The point ⎛⎝a, f(a)⎞⎠ is an inflection point of f. For the function f(x) = x3 − 6x2 + 9x + 30, determine all intervals where f is concave up and all intervals where f is concave down. List all inflection points for f. Use a graphing utility to confirm your results.

   When a function f is concave up if f′ is increasing?

   • By definition, a function f is concave up if f′ is increasing. From Corollary 3, we know that if f′ is a differentiable function, then f′ is increasing if its derivative f′′(x) > 0. Therefore, a function f that is twice differentiable is concave up when f′′(x) > 0. Similarly, a function f is concave down if f′ is decreasing.

   Is f g a concave function?

   • where the first inequality holds since f is concave and g increasing, and the second inequility follows from g being concave. We have thus proved that Thus, (f ◦ g) is a concave function. (with a similar proof for convexity.) Remark 10. An increasing transformation of a concave (convex) function is not necessarily concave (convex).
