Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

the FIRST derivative of a function tells us the slope of a tangent line to the curve at any point. if is positive, then the curve must be increasing. If is negative, then the curve must be decreasing.

the SECOND derivative gives us the slope of the slope function (in other words how fast the slope of the original function changes, and if it is accelerating up - positive - or if it is avengers down - negative).

so, the first derivative would be fully sufficient to get the answer of if the slope of the function at that point is positive or negative.

but because it is only a "if" condition and not a "if and only if" condition, the statement is still true.

there are enough cases, where the slope is positive, but the second derivative is not > 0 (usually = 0).

but if even the second derivative is positive, then, yes, the slope of the original function must be positive too.

on the first play of a game , a football team gained 23 yards and then lost 10 yards due to penalty during the second play the t

-1 Let's say the set of downs starts at the 20 yard line (maybe the kicking team kicked deep, the receiving team took a knee and so play starts at the 20).
Ok - we're at the 20. First down - they advance 5 yards. So we're now at the 25. We can write that mathematically as:
20
+
5
=
25
So the second play they get sacked deep and lose 6 yards. So we subtract 6:
25
−
6
=
19
So what's the change in yardage for the 2 plays? We are on the 19 and started at the 20, so we can write:
19
−
20
=
−
1
and this makes sense because we know we advanced 5 and fell back 6
