Given the graph of y = cos theta on the interval 0 ≤ theta ≤ 2pi, for which value of theta does y have upward concavity.
cos(0) = 1
cos(pi/2) = 0
cos(pi) = -1
cos(3pi/2) = 0
cos(2pi) = 1
So concave upward at cos(theta) = cos(pi) = -1
answer: d

The cosine curve has negative concavity between pi/2 and 3pi/2 and the value theta=2 is in that interval so the answer is c
2nd question answer is a because p' = 0 and p'' < 0
