Question

Complete the following table

For parts A thru D:

When the derivative function, f' is...

Then the values of

the second derivative

function f'', are

(i) positive, or

(ii) negative

And the original function, f, is:

(i) Decreasing and concave up,

(ii) Decreasing and concave up,

(iii) Increasing and concave up, or

(iv) Increasing and concave down

For parts E thru H:

When the derivative function, f' is...

Then the values of

the second derivative

function f'', are

(i) From positive to negative, or

(ii) From negative to positive

And the original function, f, is:

(i) Decreasing changing from concave up to concave down,

(ii) Decreasing changing from concave down to concave up,

(iii) Increasing changing from concave up to concave down, or

(iv) Increasing changing from concave down to concave up

For parts A thru D:

A. Negative and Increasing B. Positive and Increasing C. Positive and Decreasing D. Negative and Decreasing

For parts E thru H:

When the derivative function, f' is...

Then the values of

the second derivative

function f'', are

(i) From positive to negative, or

(ii) From negative to positive

And the original function, f, is:
