Applying the second derivative test to a table of values
👉 Learn how to find the extrema of a function using the second derivative test. The second derivative test states that if a function has a critical point for which f'(x) = 0, and the second derivative is positive, then the function has a...

What is concavity of a graph
👉 Learn how to determine the concavity of a function. A function is said to be concave up (convex) if the graph of the curve is facing upwards and the function is said to be concave down (concave) if the graph is facing down. To test for...
