what are the relations that you want to look for?
im confused by what im suppose to sketch
the graph of f(x).
graph y against x given dy/dx
so, you find concavity, increasing/decreasing, min/max, etc.
the graph you’re given tells you the gradient at a point on the function
using the derivative given, of course
so i have the CUP and Concave Down. do i plot those points and connect them?
are you able to show me what it looks like?
so like, for (2,6) for example, you would have the function decreasing
i don't get it
by any chance are you able to show me?
is it not at (2.5,6) the graph is going down
at (-infinity,2.5) and (6, infinity) the graph is going up
no
the graph is going down at (2, 6), actually
wait so for concave down its not (2.5,6) and instead its (2,6)
wait.
oh, concave down?
i think you got the concept of "concave" wrong.
sorry, i thought you meant any sort of down
concavity is determined by the second derivative
i.e. the maximums and minmums of the first derivative
