Re: Hello!
Hi {7/3};
Welcome to the forum!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Are you sure? I think that means it's all down hill from here.

Re: Hello!
I meant,if first derivative is 0 and second derivative is -ve the point is local mamimum.Also if 2nd derivative is -ve for any x,y and z between them,(z,f(z)) is over the secant line of (x,f(x)) and (y,f(y)).

hi {7/3}
How are you today?
Doesn't it depend on where the points x, y, and z lie?
