Lesson: Concavity and Points of Inflection Mathematics

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Mathematics sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to determine the concavity of a function as well as its inflection points using its second derivative.

Students will be able to

understand how the second derivative of a function relates to its concavity and how to apply the second derivative test,
find the intervals over which a function is concave upward or concave downward,
understand the relationship between inflection points and concavity,
find the inflection points of a function.
