The concavity of a function is described by its second derivative.
-The expression will not directly tell us whether the function is concave up or concave down and where it changes, though graphing the function may give us some sort of idea.
-The first derivative tells us the critical/important values (where there could be asymptotes), as well as where the function is increasing/decreasing.
-The second derivative tells us again the critical/important values, but also where the function is concave up/down. We find concavity in the same way we find increasing/decreasing using the first derivative.
-The third derivative, at least in my experience, has only been used to find acceleration of a function.
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
Volume of prism 1: 104 cubic inches
Surface area of prism 2: 650 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of prism 1, set up a proportion using the side lengths and the volume of prism 2.
The ratio of the side lengths will be your scale factor. When finding volume using scale factor, you need to cube the scale factor. The numerator in the proportion are from prism 1 and the denominator is prism 2. Prism 1 is the numerator since it is the new image and we are solving for it's volume.


To find the surface area of Prism 2, we are going to setup another proportion, but this time we are going to square the scale factor since we are finding area. Prism 2 will be the numerator and prism 1 will be the denominator.

Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
(6-1)/(2- -4) --> 5/6
