  1. Concavity and Inflection Points The second derivative will show where a function is concave up or concave down. It is also used to locate inflection points.

  2. Concavity and Inflection Points The second derivative will show where a function is concave up or concave down. It is also used to locate inflection points. Concave up – this occurs as the slope of the tangent line increases

  3. Concavity and Inflection Points The second derivative will show where a function is concave up or concave down. It is also used to locate inflection points. Concave up – this occurs as the slope of the tangent line increases - As you can see, as I move from LEFT to RIGHT, the tangent line goes from a ( - ) value to a ( + ) value…

  4. Concavity and Inflection Points The second derivative will show where a function is concave up or concave down. It is also used to locate inflection points. Concave up – this occurs as the slope of the tangent line increases - As you can see, as I move from LEFT to RIGHT, the tangent line goes from a ( - ) value to a ( + ) value… Concave down – this occurs as the slope of the tangent line decreases - As you can see, as I move from LEFT to RIGHT, the tangent line goes from a ( + ) value to a ( - ) value…

Concave up – this occurs as the slope of the tangent line increases Concave down – this occurs as the slope of the tangent line decreases

  7. Concavity and Inflection Points The second derivative will show where a function is concave up or concave down. It is also used to locate inflection points. Inflection Point – occur where a graph changes from concave up to concave down, or vice versa
