(a)
\The function and
are concave up on the interval
.
Therefore the functions and
.
Consider .
Apply second derivative.
\Since and
then the function
.
Therefore has a concave up over the interval
.
(b)
\The function is concave up on the interval
.
Therefore the function .
The function is .
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
Again apply derivative on each side with respect to .
.
, Since
and
.
Therefore the function is a concave up over the interval
.
(a) and
are concave up on
then
is a concave up on
.
(b) is concave up on
then
is a concave up on
.
