What Is a Twice Differentiable Function?

.
Furthermore, what is meant by twice differentiable?
Twice differentiable. A function may be differentiable at a point but not twice differentiable (i.e., the first derivative exists, but the second derivative does not).
One may also ask, is a constant function twice differentiable? The constant function f(x) = 2 is differentiable (on its entire domain R). Example 1 (revisited). The linear function f(x) = 2x is differentiable (on its entire domain R).
Similarly, what does it mean when a function is differentiable?
A function is differentiable at a point when there's a defined derivative at that point. This means that the slope of the tangent line of the points from the left is approaching the same value as the slope of the tangent of the points from the right.
What does the second derivative tell us?
The second derivative tells us a lot about the qualitative behaviour of the graph. If the second derivative is positive at a point, the graph is concave up. If the second derivative is positive at a critical point, then the critical point is a local minimum. The second derivative will be zero at an inflection point.
