The concavity of a function is described by its expression
1st derivative
2nd derivative
3rd derivative

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!! :)

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
