   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) + +.

   The concrete, pictorial, abstract approach is a way of teaching mathematical concepts and theories in vari-ous stages, in order to help children fully understand and master what they are learning. The concrete stage involves using items, models and objects, giving children a chance to be ‘hands-on’.

   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 · 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.

   Sal introduces the concept of concavity, what it means for a graph to be "concave up" or "concave down," and how this relates to the second derivative of a function.

   What is a concavity tangent?

   • The following notions of concavity are used to describe the increase and decrease of the slope of the tangent to a curve. In Figure 3.11, for example, the production curve was concave upward to the left of the point of diminishing returns and concave downward to the right of this point.

   How do you analyze concavity if n 1 is separable?

   • the de nition of concavity.special case in which N > 1 is e ectively as easy to analyze as N = 1 is when the function is separable in the sense that it is the sum of univariate functions. For example, the function h(x1; 2) = ex1 + ex2 is separable. More generally, suppose Cn ar intervals a d let C = QCn. Then h : C ! R is separable i

   How do you prove a concave function?

   • Any afine function is both concave and convex. Proof. The proof follows from Theorem 6 above and from the fact that f(x) xi, f(x) −xi, and f(x) Theorem 9. Let f : S ⊂ Rn → R be a concave (convex) function, and let g : R → R be concave (convex) and increasing. Then (f ◦ g) : S ⊂ Rn → R is a concave (convex) function. Proof.

   Why is the graph of F concave upward?

   • This implies that the first derivative f must be increasing on I, so the graph of f is concave upward on I. Similarly, if f 0 on an interval, then f is decreasing there and the graph of f is concave downward. To summarize: If f (x) 0 on the interval a x b, then f is concave upward on this interval.

   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).

   CONCAVITY. The following notions of concavity are used to describe the increase and decrease of the slope of the tangent to a curve. Concavity If the function f(x) is differentiable on the interval a x b, then the graph of f is. concave upward on a x b if f is increasing on the interval concave downward on a x b if f is decreasing on the interval.
