SECTION 3.2 Concavity and Points of Inflection 1. Concavity 凹向 Def (定义) If the function f (x) is differentiable on the interval a x b , then the graph of f (x) is concave upward (凹上的) on a x b if f ′(x) is increasing on a x b Slope=f ′(x) concave downward (凹下的) ？ Informally, a concave upward portion of graph “holds water”, while a concave downward portion “spills water”. f ′(x) is increasing on a x b Theorem (定理) Suppose f (x) has the second derivative on a x b , then 注意： 1. 上述结论反之不成立。 如：y = x4 2. Do not confuse the concavity of a graph with its “direction” (rising or
