Problem

A particular solution to a differential equation passes through (0,2)(0,2). Approximate values of its derivative dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx} along the solution are given in the table. x  0  1  2  3  4 dy/dxdy/dx 1.2 0.8 0.0 −0.6 −0.9 On which interval within 0≤x≤40\le x\le4 is the solution most likely increasing and concave down? (a) 3<x<43<x<4 (b) 2<x<32<x<3 (c) 0<x<20<x<2 (d) The solution is nowhere increasing and concave down on 0≤x≤40\le x\le4.
