General statements for the second derivative of a function

I am working on a task about second derivative. The task is:



$f(x)$ on $(-1,1)$ has the values $f(-1)=-10$, $f(0)=-10$ and $f(1)=-3$.



What can you say about the values for first and second derivative?



For the first derivative I use the mean value theorem and find $f'(c)$ for different intervals.



For the second derivative I have some statements:



1) $|f '' (c)|>frac72$



2) $|f '' (c)|>7$



Are there any theorems or rules I can use in order to check if these statements are true or not?



Thanks!

          Hint



          If we consider $xin(-1,1)$ then



          $$|f'(x)|le kimplies |f(x)-f(0)|le kleft|xright|le kimplies |f(1)-f(0)|le k.$$



          Since $f(1)-f(0)=7,$ what can we say about $k?$

          • We can say that k>= 7 , but I don't see how it can say anything about f ''(x). Sorry.

          • There exist $a,bin (-1,1)$ such that $f'(a)=0$ and $f'(b)>7.$ Use that $7<f'(b)-f'(a)=f''(c)(b-a).$ What do you get?

          How to combine Bézier curves to a surface?

          圖片
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite My aim is to smooth the terrain in a video game. Therefore I contrived an algorithm that makes use of Bézier curves of different orders. But this algorithm is defined in a two dimensional space for now. To shift it into the third dimension I need to somehow combine the Bézier curves. Given two curves in each two dimensions, how can I combine them to build a surface? I thought about something like a curve of a curve. Or maybe I could multiply them somehow. How can I combine them to cause the wanted behavior? Is there a common approach? In the image you can see the input, on the left, and the output, on the right, of the algorithm that works in a two dimensional space. For the real application there is a three dimensional input. The algorithm relays only on the adjacent tiles. Given these it will define the control points of the mentioned Bézier curve. Additionally it marks one side of the curve as inside t
