I have to complete a chart that indicates the sign(+ or -) for s(t), s'(t) and s"(t) at each point

OpenStudy (precal):

I am going to try to upload the sketch because my drawing will not do it justice. Give me a moment.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:) Take your time

OpenStudy (precal):

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Ok

OpenStudy (precal):

Sorry took so long, I had to look for it. I know how to fill out the second column neg, 0, positive, 0, negative because I am just looking for the signs of their slopes

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yes those are correct.

OpenStudy (precal):

not sure how to fill out the first column

OpenStudy (precal):

what am I looking for in the first column

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Well first column just represents the Y-coordinate of the point.

OpenStudy (precal):

well then they are positive correct since they are in the first quadrant?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Correct.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Now, for the third column ?

OpenStudy (precal):

not sure what I am looking for at all, unless it is just concave up and concave down + for cc up and - for cc dn

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yes it is looking for this

OpenStudy (precal):

so pos, pos, 0, neg, neg C is 0 because it is a point of inflection

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Ok lets see: I am not sure about A. The slope is decreasing at A, so shouldn't it be -ve ?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

The rest are absolutely correct.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yes you are correct for that also. Sorry .

OpenStudy (precal):

thanks, well I have to go get ready for work. I will continue my calculus journey afterwards. Thanks for all of your help.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:) Do not mention it. It was my pleasure to be of your help.
