Let 𝑓 be a twice differentiable function on an open interval (𝑎,𝑏).
Which statements regarding the second derivative and concavity are true?
a)If 𝑓″(𝑐) is positive, then the graph of 𝑓 has a local maximum at 𝑥=𝑐.
b)The graph of 𝑓 has a local minimum at 𝑥=𝑐 if 𝑓″(𝑐)=0.
c)The concavity of a graph changes at an inflection point.
e)If 𝑓 is increasing, then the graph of 𝑓 is concave down.
d)The graph of 𝑓 is concave up if 𝑓″ is positive on (𝑎,𝑏).
