(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
.
