Front

What does it mean for a graph to be concave up?

Back

A graph is concave up if it opens upwards, meaning that the slope of the tangent line increases as you move from left to right. This occurs when the second derivative of the function is positive.

What is a vertical asymptote?

Front

What is an inflection point?

Back

An inflection point is a point on the graph of a function where the concavity changes, meaning the second derivative changes sign.

Front

What is end behavior in the context of functions?

Back

End behavior describes how a function behaves as the input values approach positive or negative infinity.

What is the difference between a maximum and minimum point?
