Lesson: Concavity and Points of Inflection Mathematics

Start Practising

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

Lesson Plan

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.
