    Concave upwards - (Thumb up) - the U shape (glass) can be filled with beer

    decreasing slope (fun)

    Note that the second positive derivative is a sufficient condition for concavity upwards, but not necessary.

  • @nineironshore

    I don’t understand why we need the second derivative to tell us the slope I positive can’t see see that from the first derivative?

    • @TreBlass
      @TreBlass 8 років тому

      +Doofan Udendeh @brandon singh What Brandon said is correct..don't be confused here...when you draw a straight line joining the two points of the curve, and then when the curve is below that line, then it is convex...
      E.g. f(x,y)= xy is a convex curve..check it..

    • @asmaamin2898
      @asmaamin2898 10 років тому +2

      i know this is a late reply. just for ur own sake.. when he said x increasing around 3:50.. he meant that when its concave up the slope increases, because when you move from left to right the (x) increases. for instance -1 is higher than -4 or -5... so going from -4 to 1 "the x increases".

  • @akshaykasture8950

    more generalised is even derivative changes sign ... then it is point of inflection... because it's not 2nd derivative always
