👉 In mathematics, the term "concavity" refers to how a function behaves as it approaches or goes beyond its local (or global) extrema. Concave functions have a greater curvature at their points of inflection than do convex functions. A point where a function changes concavity is called an inflection point. A concave function has a higher concavity at the point where it crosses the x-axis, as compared to a convex function that does not cross the x-axis. The sign of
