Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the sign of f′′(x)f''(x) and the concavity of the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x) on an open interval? a) If f′′(x)=0f''(x)=0 throughout the interval, the graph is concave up on that interval. b) If f′′(x)<0f''(x)<0 throughout the interval, the graph is concave up on that interval. c) If f′′(x)>0f''(x)>0 throughout the interval, the graph is concave up on that interval. d) If f′′(x)=0f''(x)=0 at a point in the interval, the graph must have an inflection point there.
