Introduction. We will now see how derivatives affect the concavity of the graph, but before that, what does the word concavity actually mean? Well, the concavity is actually in a
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.
Dec 21, 2020 · In general, concavity can change only where either the second derivative is 0, where there is a vertical asymptote, or (rare in practice) where the second derivative is undefined. But concavity doesn't \emph{have} to change at these places.
Dec 21, 2020 · Describe the concavity of \( f(x)=x^3-x\). Solution. The first dervative is \( f'(x)=3x^2-1\) and the second is \(f''(x)=6x\). Since \(f''(0)=0\), there is potentially an inflection point at zero.
