1.9.6 Second derivative as rate of change of gradient

What does the second derivative measure?

A

A stationary point with f′′(x)>0f''(x)>0f′′(x)>0 is a local minimum.

B

The test is inconclusive; inspect the first derivative on either side.

C

At a stationary point, f′′(x)>0f''(x)>0f′′(x)>0 indicates a local minimum.

D

Rate of change of the gradient with respect to xxx.
