Prove, using the second derivative, that the general quadratic y= ax^2+bx+c, is:

lozanna [386]

There are three things you have to know:

A function is convex when its second derivative $f''(x)>0$
A function is concave when it second derivative $f''(x)$
The derivative of a power, $x^n$ , is $nx^{n-1}$

So, the first derivative is

$y'=2ax+b$

and the second derivative is

$y''=2a$

This implies that the second derivative of a parabola is constant, and of course that 2 doesn't change the sign of $a$ .

There are 120 people on the bus 50% get off at the first stop 20% get off at the second stop. The rest get off on the third stop

erastova [34]

Answer:

48 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many were left after the first stop:

120(0.5)

= 60

Find how many were left after the second stop:

60(0.8)

= 48

So, since the rest got off on the third stop, this means 48 people got off on the third stop.
