I need help with #4.
OpenStudy (itz_sid):
Here is the problem.

@mathmale @518nad @IrishBoy123 @Directrix
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Sorry to say, your derivates need work. t*e^t is a product, and thus you must use the product rule to differentiate it. Please give this a try.
Your handwritten work is exceptionally neat and deserves praise.
OpenStudy (triciaal):
double check y'
Still Need Help?

Of course..... Thanks!
OpenStudy (mathmale):
My pleasure. Triciaal noticed the same problem.
OpenStudy (mathmale):
derivatives (not derivates). Mea culpa. ;(
OpenStudy (itz_sid):
Haha xD
OpenStudy (itz_sid):
How would I find its concavity?
Still Need Help?

Find the 2nd derivative
Set it = to 0
Solve for all t values
Plot the t values on a number line
Identify intervals on which the 2nd deriv. is + and those on which the 2nd deriv. is -
OpenStudy (triciaal):
is there another way to say that?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
On any interval on which the 2nd deriv. is +, your graph is concave upward; if -, downward.
OpenStudy (mathmale):
If y'=0 produces a root or two, you may have an inflection point at any such value.
