4. Concave upward Look at these two graphs. Each is concave upward, but one is decreasing and the other is increasing. We need to be able to determine concavity from the function and not just from the graph. For each of the graphs above sketch the tangent lines to the graph at a number of different points. xx yy

5. As we move from left to right the slopes of the tangent lines are getting less negative. That is they are increasing. x y

6. As we move from left to right the slopes of the tangent lines are getting larger. That is they are increasing.

7. When a graph is concave upward The slope of the tangent lines are increasing.

8. Concave downward Look at these two graphs. Each is concave downward, but one is decreasing and the other is increasing. We need to be able to determine concavity from the function and not just from the graph. For each of the graphs above sketch the tangent lines to the graph at a number of different points. x x yy

9. As we move from left to right, the slopes of the tangent lines are getting more negative. They are decreasing.

10. As we move from left to right the slopes of the tangent lines are getting smaller. That is they are decreasing.

11. When a graph is concave downward The slopes of the tangent lines are decreasing.

12. Putting it all together For a function f that is differentiable on an interval I, the graph of f is (i) Concave up on I, if the slope of the tangent line is increasing on I or (ii) Concave down on I, if the slope of the tangent line is decreasing on I

13. Linking knowledge (i) Concave up on I, if the slope of the tangent line is increasing on I. If the slope of the tangent line is increasing and the slope of the tangent line is represented by the first derivative and to determine when something is increasing we had to take the derivative, then to find where the slope of the tangent line (f ‘(x)) is increasing we will need to take the derivative of f ‘(x) or find the second derivative f “(x) I know, this is a very large run on sentence.

14. Linking knowledge (ii) Concave down on I, if the slope of the tangent line is decreasing on I If the slope of the tangent line is decreasing and the slope of the tangent line is represented by the first derivative and to determine when something is decreasing we had to take the derivative, then to find where the slope of the tangent line (f ‘(x)) is decreasing we will need to take the derivative of f ‘(x) or find the second derivative f “(x)

15. Definition of concavity For a function f that is differentiable on an interval I, the graph of f is (i) Concave up on I, if f’ is increasing on I or (ii) Concave down on I, if f’ is decreasing on I

28. Example 1: Graph the function f given by and find the relative extrema. 1 st find graph the function.

29. Example 1 (continued): 2 nd solve f (x) = 0. Thus, x = –3 and x = 1 are critical values.

30. Example 1 (continued): 3 rd use the Second Derivative Test with – 3 and 1. Lastly, find the values of f (x) at –3 and 1. So, (–3, 14) is a relative maximum and (1, –18) is a relative minimum.
