- 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.

Dec 21, 2020 · If f ″ (c)> 0, then f has a local minimum at (c, f(c)). If f ″ (c) <0, then f has a local maximum at (c, f(c)). The Second Derivative Test relates to the First Derivative Test in the following way. If f ″ (c)> 0, then the graph is concave up at a critical point c and f ′ itself is growing.
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, ∞).

If a function changes from concave upward to concave downward or vice versa around a point, it is called a point of inflection of the function. In determining intervals where a function is concave upward or concave downward, you first find domain values where f″(x) = 0 or f″(x) does not exist.
The function \(g(x) = x^4\) is concave up everywhere so (0,0) is not an inflection point of \(g\). We can also compute the second derivatives and check the sign change. If \(f(x) = x^3\), then \(f'(x) = 3x^2\) and \( f''(x) = 6x\). The only point at which \(f''(x) = 0\) or is undefined (\(f'\) is not differentiable) is at \(x = 0\).
