Consider the curve in the xyx y-plane defined by x2y25=1x^{2}-\frac{y^{2}}{5}=1. It is known that dydx=5xy\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{5 x}{y} and d2ydx2=25y3\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=-\frac{25}{y^{3}}. Which of the following statements is true about the curve in Quadrant IV? A) The curve is concave up because dydx>0\frac{d y}{d x}>0.
B The curve is concave down because dydx<0\frac{d y}{d x}<0.
C The curve is concave up because d2ydx2>0\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}>0.
D The curve is concave down because d2ydx2<0\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}<0.

Studdy Solution
Choose the correct statement from the provided options:
Option C states: "The curve is concave up because d2ydx2>0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} > 0." This matches our conclusion.
Therefore, the correct statement is C\boxed{\text{C}}.
