The second derivative measures how the slope of a curve changes, this is called concavity
lesson notes:04 concavity
The second derivative measures how the slope of a curve changes, this is called concavity
lesson notes:04 concavity
Looking at the slope of a curve together with its concavity gives a bit more information about how a quantity is changing over time
lesson notes:04 concavity & rates of change
Combining the second derivative wit the first derivative provides are more efficient way of classifying stationary points
lesson notes:04 concavity
How does the concavity of a curve effect the rate of change?
lesson notes:04 concavity & rates of change
Concavity measures the rate of change of the slope of a curve, which makes it useful for classifying stationary points and finding inflection points
