- 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.

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 .
Review your knowledge of concavity of functions and how we use differential calculus to analyze it.

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.
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, ∞).
For each problem, find the x-coordinates of all points of inflection, find all discontinuities, and find the open intervals where the function is concave up and concave down. 1)
