(Solved) What happens to concavity when functions are added? If f(x) and g(x) are concave for all x, is f(x) + g(x) concave up for all x? If f(x) is concave


Question: What happens to concavity when functions are added?

  1. If f(x) and g(x) are concave for all x, is f(x) + g(x) concave up for all x?
  2. If f(x) is concave up for all x and g(x) is concave down for all x, what can you say about the concavity of f(x) + g(x)? For example, what happens if f(x) and g(x) are both polynomials of degree2?
  3. If f(x) is concave up for all x and g(x) is concave down for all x, is it possible for f(x) + g(x) to change concavity infinitely often?
