Problem

The table gives values of a differentiable function ss at unequally spaced xx-values.
x0.00.71.52.64.0
s(x)s(x)10.011.813.114.014.6
Using only the information in the table, determine whether ss is concave up or concave down on the interval 0<x<40 < x < 4. Support your conclusion with a comparison of successive average rates of change.
