150300147How can you tell the concavity of a function?look at the second derivative. Where the second derivative is increasing it is concave up. If the second derivative is decreasing, it is concave down. Kelsey Kenaan
150328223How do you find the maximum and minimum of a function?take a look at the first derivative. find the zeros, and do the chart from the left and right side in order to find where it is positive and where it is negative. if it is going from positive to negative, there is a maximum. if it is going from negative to positive, there is a minimum. if it is only positive or only negative, there is no maximum or minimum. Roshni Kalbavi.
