Many graphs that appear concave from one side will appear convex from the other. A smooth graph is generally described as concave if it is increasing AND if the rate of increase is also increasing. In terms of calculus this requires the first and second derivative to be positive.
A concave polygon is one in which at least one of the vertices forms a reflex angle.

How do you determine if the graph of a function is concave down without looking at the graph?
If you can differentiate the function, then you can tell that the graph is concave down if the second derivative is negative over the range examined. As an example: for f(x) = -x2, f'(x) = -2x and f"(x) = -2 < 0, so the function will be everywhere concave down.
What is the definition of inflection point in math?
That's a point where the curve of a graph changes from "concave upward" to "concave downward", or vice versa.
What does acceleration look like as a graph?
The answer depends on what is plotted on the graph and what is happening with the acceleration then.
