Let pp and qq be twice-differentiable functions on (0,4)(0,4) such that p′′(x)<q′′(x)p''(x)<q''(x) for all xx in (0,4)(0,4). Which of the following best compares the concavity of the graphs of pp and qq on (0,4)(0,4)? a) The graph of pp is more concave up than the graph of qq on (0,4)(0,4). b) The graph of qq is more concave up than the graph of pp on (0,4)(0,4). c) Both graphs have identical concavity on (0,4)(0,4). d) Both graphs are concave up on (0,4)(0,4).
