0 Second derivative is negative 5
When something is
1 negative, it is described 6
as decreasing.
2 And in this case when
second derivative is
7
3 negative the slope is
decreasing. 8

0 Second derivative is negative 5
1 And in second derivative there are three points:
6
-maximum (goes from positive to negative, down
the slope)
2 -minimum (a point on y axis where the value is
small)
7
3 -point of inflection (function changes concavity)
