Curvature and Inflection points Definition If the graph of is lying above its tangent line at every point in an interval , then it is called concave upward (CU) on .

Definition If the graph of is lying below its tangent line at every point in an interval , then it is called concave downward (CD) on .
Le c t u r e 13 | 3
Definition A point where the graph of changes its direction of concavity is called an inflection point.
