Calculus 1?

To find concavity you must take the second derivative.  

As you would to find your local maximums and minimums (critical points) in the first derivative by setting y' = 0, to find points of inflection you set acceleration, y" = 0.  

Now that you know where the point in which the function is neither concave up or concave down (at the points of inflection) plug x-values between them into the second derivative for x.  If y" is positive between those particular points will be concave up and if y" is negative it will be concave down between that interval.

For a better understanding you might find a good video on Youtube explaining this if you search "Points of Inflections" or "Concavity of a function".

Cheers.

If twelve inches correspond to 30.48 centimeters, how many centimeters are there in thirty inches?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

76.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 30.48 / 12 to find the amount of centimeters per inch. 30.48 / 12 = 2.54

So, for ever inch, there are 2.54 cm. Now to find the amount of centimeters in thirty inches, do 2.54 x 30 = 76.2.

One number is one more than another. Their sum is nine. Find both numbers.
STatiana [176]

Answer:

4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation to solve. Let's call "one number" x. Another number is 1 more than x, so now we have x + 1. x plus x + 1 is equal to 9... and this gives us our equation:

x + (x + 1) = 9

We can now simplify by adding like terms together:

2x + 1 = 9

Now, let's take away 1 from both sides:

2x = 8

We can finally divide both sides by 2 to isolate x:

x = 4

One of our numbers is 4. Our other number is one more than 4, and 4 + 1 = 5. So our numbers are 4 and 5.

Hopefully this was helpful! If you need more help, let me know.
