I didn't notice that the given values are the second derivative That has nothing to do with SAT. Sorry for the inconvenience Notice that the given values are second derivative. Getting the second derivative of any function is used to determine whether the function has a change in concavity or inflection points and that can be decided when the value is greater or less than 0 A. For any linear equations the second derivative is zero B and D has no change in concavity therefore both aren't correct Left with C A cubic function would include a change in concavity, and f″(x) would be linear. Both of these properties are indicated in the table with the given points.
