Concavity
- Concavity: second derivative test
- Take second order derivative of appropriate function
- Set second order derivative = 0
- Solve for critical point x, or “point of inflection”
- Examine second order derivative behavior around critical point to determine concavity
- Be sure to not confuse second order derivative (concavity) with first order derivative (slope)
