On what interval(s) of x does f have positive concavity? On what interval(s) of x does f have negative concavity?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola that opens downward has a second derivative that is negative everywhere. The interval of negative concavity is 'all real numbers', (-∞, ∞). There is no interval of positive concavity.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?
