Information about concavity is contained in the second derivative of a function. Given f(x) = ax² + bx + c, we have
f'(x) = 2ax + b
and
f''(x) = 2a
Concavity changes at a function's inflection points, which can occur wherever the second derivative is zero or undefined. In this case, since a ≠ 0, the function's concavity is uniform over its entire domain.
(i) f is concave up when f'' > 0, which occurs when a > 0.
(ii) f is concave down when f'' < 0, and this is the case if a < 0.
In Mathematica, define f by entering
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x + c
Then solve for intervals over which the second derivative is positive or negative, respectively, using
Reduce[f''[x] > 0, x]
Reduce[f''[x] < 0, x]

the answer is b. because 6* the 250 each sales person makes a moth would be 4500. so anything more than that would be corect
That would simply be
38.14 ÷ 4 = 9.535
thus he scored 9.535 on each event
