Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Ex: Determine the open intervals of concavity for Domain: R 3
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Ex: Determine the open intervals of concavity for Domain: R + – + –1 1 –2 0 2
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Ex: Determine the open intervals of concavity for Domain: R except ±2
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Ex: Determine the open intervals of concavity for Domain: R except ±2 3
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Ex: Determine the open intervals of concavity for Domain: R except ±2 + – + –2 2 –3 0 3 Never
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Points of Inflection (POI)
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test CAUTION: This is NOT a 2-way street! This does NOT imply that if f"(c) = 0 or does not exist, then (c, f(c)) is a point of inflection!
Sec. 3.4: Concavity and the Second Derivative Test Ex: Determine the points of inflection and discuss the concavity of the graph of D: R + – + 0 2 –1 1 3 Explanation required f′′(x) changes sign at x = 0 andx = 2, giving POI
