(b) Show that definition (2) is equivalent to definition (3). Hint: You may need to use the Mean Value Theorem. 1. There are several equivalent definitions of concavity. (1) We say a twice-differentiable function f to be (strictly) concave up on (a, b) if for any distinct T1, T2 (a, b)(assume x1 < x2) and for any t = (0, 1) we have f(x1+t(x2 − x1)) < f(x1)+t(f(x2) − f(x1)). (2) We say a twice-differentiable function f to be (strictly) concave up on (a, b) if for any distinct T1, T2 € (a, b)(assume x1 < x2) and for any 1 € (11, 12), f(x) f(x1) f(x2) f(x1) f(x2)- f(x) x-x1 < I2X1 < X2-X (3) We say a twice-differentiable function f to be (strictly) concave up on (a,b) if f' is (strictly) increasing on (a,b).

A tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second. Take out a piece of paper and read the above problem context again. You will prepare your written work and solutions on your own paper and upload it and the end of this question. Complete the problem solving process by: i. reading and re-reading the problem to identify the quantities in the situation; ii. making a drawing to represent the relevant quantities in the situation; iii. and defining the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. a. Define a function f to determine the distance of the tortoise from the finish line in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start of the race.
